Mindful Teens (High School Students)
Led by Aiko Michot and Laura Hansen
First and Third Sunday of the month, 5:00 – 7:00 pm
We aspire to create a safe and joyful space where teens learn mindfulness to nurture inner-discovery, clarity and a deeper connection with others. After a guided meditation, we discuss issues that are alive and rich in us (typically around relationships with friends/family, stress, intentions, identity, etc.) and in general have some fun with life!
