Learn How to Meditate with Val Petrich
April 26, 2025
Saturday 2:30 PM - 5:30 PM
$60 +gst
Want to do less with better results? Feel like you’re juggling too much? Have a sense something is tapping you on the shoulder for change?
That tap is probably intuition, asking you to listen. And stillness and silence point the way. Meditation simplifies and enhances our life in so many areas. It strengthens our immune system, declutters our thoughts and gives clarity of purpose. It is both a spiritual practice and a scientific practice that yields amazing results if we are
patient. Meditation is a practice of tapping into our wellspring of consciousness. When we sit quietly
(easier said than done) the inner chambers of intuition, wisdom and guidance blossom and become a clear guiding light. It’s just like the gurus tell us but like everything else, it is practice.
Join me in learning the practical aspects to set up a meditation practice – how to start, sustain
and meet the challenges that present themselves.
Recommended for beginners or those with a regular practice who want guidance.
