Come join Mrs. Miller and a very small group of students and adults on Thursdays for a short guided meditation at the end of Upper School lunch. (15 minutes). You don’t have to have ever meditated before.
Many people find meditation helps them relax, focus better, and be more present to their lives. You can also join us via Zoom, and are welcome to keep your cameras off to have some space just to listen and not be on screen.
