Guided Morning Meditation
With Yvette Marcek, RMT
Thursday, March 27th
8-9am

The word ‘exercise’ is mostly associated with our bodies – why not exercise your mind? Is it a muscle too, after all. Meditation is an ancient practice and has been coined as ‘exercise for the mind.’ It is something so simple with unlimited benefits, yet so challenging and can seem a bit out of reach for many of us. Join us for a guided morning meditation to help start your day off on the right foot, with some soul food.
