Learn to Meditate-
Stop Overthinking it!
Half-day course with Jia Hui Yan
In this half-day meditation course, we will explore simple yet powerful meditations to quiet our minds, reduce distracting thoughts, and experience the natural peace and clarity that lie within us. These meditations will help us step back so that we no longer feel trapped in the endless stream of thoughts, opening the door to a greater sense of inner freedom, spaciousness, and peace.
The practices taught - including mindfulness of breathing, mantra recitation, and positive visualization - will guide us to let go of mental busyness and connect with a more peaceful, positive state of mind.
Each meditation will be clearly explained and gently guided by the teacher, making the course suitable for everyone - whether we are completely new to meditation or looking to deepen our practice.

Temporary on-street permit parking in Toronto: Provided space is available, a temporary parking permit may be purchased by residents and their guests to park a motor vehicle on a street designated under the permit parking program of the city of Toronto. This program generally services those residential areas where driveways are not common. If you choose this option, please avoid parking on Crawford St. if possible.
