Meditation Session at Friends Homes West (in person)

During Saturdays in February, Friends Homes is offering free meditation classes to FIVE Hirsch Wellness participants! While the classes work best as a series, it’s not required that you sign up for all four. Registration is required and closes at noon on the day of class.

“Research shows an association between mindfulness and an elevated sense of wellbeing and self-compassion, and lowered anxiety, paving the way for the practice of self-love. When we can cultivate our practice of self-love, we can more easily recognize and attend to negative or anxious thoughts and feelings that get in the way of wellbeing. According to the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation, self-love is a state of appreciation for oneself that grows from actions that support our physical, psychological, and spiritual growth. In this 4-week series of workshops we will learn and apply simple tools that help us cultivate our sense of wellbeing, gratitude, connectedness, love, and generosity – all qualities that, when nurtured, can be shared with our loved ones, neighbors, community members, and the world.“
