Beginners as well as experienced practitioners will benefit from this day of guided meditation practice this Saturday, Jan. 21, from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The public is invited to offer themselves the gift of moving into stillness through practice and learning at United Methodist Church, 2311 Buena Vista Ave. 

In this day and age of too much to do, information overload, pressures to be social, caring for the family, stress at work, keeping up with social media, etc. what is most needed is to learn the tools and practice for showing compassion towards oneself and others. This along with kindness, respect and acknowledgement for what can trip up the easeful flow of nature.

Bring a bag lunch and wear comfortable clothing. The event is held on a donation basis. For more information about the Alameda Sangha or to preregister, visit alamedasangha.org. Drop ins are also welcome.
