Be Here Now

Be Here Now is an open, relaxed format meditation group based on the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh and the practices of mindfulness - we meet every Monday night starting promptly at 7:30pm and ending at 8:45pm. There is one session of sitting meditation for 20 minutes, followed by walking meditation, a reading, an open sharing circle and closing with a circle for gratitude and healing.

Be Here Now is open to everyone and is free to attend, donations are always appreciated. No experience necessary.  Feel free to simply come on by and sit with us!

Teaching Talk: Nicole

Note from Nicole about the talk: I give teaching talks about 3 times a year. This one will be on a topic for which I've yet to find a good name for but which involves a call to action about how our world needs more happy, well-contented people. I'll also be sharing about some tools and practices that we can utilize in order to create a better balance of positive bias, verse the high propensity for negative bias that clouds and distorts our views of the world.
