The Joy of Meditation: Wednesdays at 7:00pm – 7:45pm with Joe Kovaz

Everybody needs joy in their life, especially right now. In this class, Joe will explain for both beginners and experienced meditators how through a simple meditation we can access a profound and authentic joy in our heart. Each class includes an opportunity to engage in guided meditation practice.

This class aims at supporting and encouraging participants to begin and/or stabilize a regular meditation practice at home. Joe will show how we can carry this joy in our daily life, giving us an optimistic, flexible mind with which to transform the difficulties we encounter regularly. Not only does this empower us to live joyfully, but also purposefully,  as this joy connects us to our extraordinary potential for growth as well as our ability to bring  joy into the lives of others.
