Saturday, September 5, 2026. 10:00-11:30 a.m.  Peter White Public Library, George Shiras III Room.  Join mindfulness, meditation, and yoga teachers as we discuss various topics related to mindful living.

The intent is for us to cultivate mindfulness, care, and well-being individually and in our love, business, and social relationships. These are drop-in sessions, although committing to a full year is a way to build a consistent mindfulness practice.  For more information and to check on the status of the program, call
