About This Event
Ground. Center. Connect. Give Back.
This Friday, we’re coming together not just for mindful presence but also for mutual aid. In light of the recent wildfires, this week's Meditation Happy Hour will serve as a fundraiser and donation drive for our Wildfire Relief.
Join us in community for a nervous-system regulating 30-minute meditation and an opportunity to support those impacted by this environmental crisis. Together, let’s cultivate presence and compassion—then extend that energy outward to our community in need.
