Greetings!
As we turn our clocks ahead...can spring be far behind? A time to look, smell, and listen closely for the first signs of spring to begin to emerge. Today, I noticed the first of the early bulbs courageously pushing forth through the remnants of snow. They are not unlike us: taking a risk, going forward, hopeful that by emerging from winter hideouts we will unfurl and nurture the possibility of new growth.
May your March be filled with hope and new possibilities,

Time for you in the busyness of the day
Join others in Stopping, Taking a Breath, Observing and Proceeding in the middle of the day. The daytime meditation maintenance group meets monthly on Fridays from 12:30-2:30 PM at my Concord office located at 97 Lowell Rd.
The format of these sessions will be the same as the evening sessions, with the intent to deepen your meditation practice and discuss your insights and challenges in a friendly, small group setting. Because of limited space, preregistration is necessary. Cost of the remaining 2 sessions will be $30 for the series (prepaid) or $20 per drop-in, if space is available.

Meditation Spaces on College Campuses |

Creating Spaces for Reflection & Relaxation
All of us have been stunned by the upsurge in violence on college campuses. Through the tragedies, perhaps a dialogue will begin on how to address the stress many college students find themselves under. A colleague recently sent me an article which appeared in an online publication, InsideHigherEd.com, regarding creation of meditation spaces on college campuses throughout the country...a great place to begin.
