Art & Wellness: Meditation for Peace with Puja

Art & Wellness Series: We are living in a time of rapid change. External systems that once felt steady - work, technology, relationships, institutions - now feel uncertain. At the same time, many of us are navigating increased isolation, loneliness, and disconnection. A healthy response to this collective discomfort is meditation.

This meditation is a monthly invitation toward inner stability and connectedness. The sessions blend ancient wisdom with modern mindfulness. Each gathering begins with a thoughtful, interactive conversation about real-life experiences such as mental overload, emotional reactivity, sleep challenges, and compassion fatigue, followed by a guided meditation practice.

There is profound value in coming together to meditate, especially in these times. Practicing in community reminds us of our shared humanity and helps normalize experiences often held in shame or self-blame. When we sit together, perspectives widen, and self-regulation organically creates co-regulation.

This is an invitation to reconnect - with yourself and with others. The intention is not to offer answers, but to support your own inner wisdom and capacity for steadiness.

This space is especially welcoming for those who have “struggled” with meditation in the past. Bring an open mind and heart, and feel free to bring a friend.

Please note: this is an alcohol-free event.
