Feb 1(1 event) 9:30 am: Stress Reeducation & Meditation (Virtual) – Each Wednesday morning we offer a series of short, meditation-based practices for relaxation and stress reduction. The group is appropriate for both beginners and advanced practitioners and instruction is provided in all aspects of the practice. Instructor Jeffrey Schneider has more than 40 years of meditation and teaching experience. It is a virtual class using the Zoom platform—everyone is welcome as little or often as they like. Dial in, find a comfortable position, breathe deeply, clear your head, and de-stress. RSVP to Sabrina Bolus at Sbolus@lighthouse-sf.org or 415-694-7607. |
