Age-old practices of meditation, such as Zen, remain an effective means of promoting stress-reduction and attaining self-awareness.
This series, entitled “Music is Meditation,” will explore the possibilities of using “musical mantras” in the place of verbal ones in the practice of collective meditation.
Each session will entail two 20-minute meditation periods, each employing recurrent musical motives or tranquil meandering themes, played on keyboard, as a focus for inward centering.
The first meeting will begin with a brief introduction to the practice of collective meditation.
Participants should wear comfortable clothing, and bring a small mat if intending to sit on the floor. Chairs will be provided.
Music is Meditation will meet weekly at 9:00am- 10:00am on Friday mornings for 4 sessions May 8 through June 5 (no session May 15)
Fee for the 4 class series is $50.

We are honored to share the work of a beloved local artist whose creative spirit continues to live on through her art. Each piece reflects her unique vision, passion, and connection to the community, offering a glimpse into the world as she saw it. By making her artwork available, we hope to celebrate her legacy and allow others to experience the beauty and meaning she brought to her craft.
