The Foundation: Exploring the Power of Posture

May 30th, 12:00–3:00pm
When the body is balanced, the mind naturally follows. In this first workshop of the year, we return to the basics of physical presence. We will explore how subtle adjustments in your seat can transform a struggle with restlessness into a sense of stable, open awareness.
