Refresh and rejuvenate with a free community service initiative to introduce people to breathing & meditation techniques that have a calming effect on the mind and reduce stress. In this 60-minute interactive session, participants develop insight on how to reduce negative emotions - anger, regret, sadness, anxiety and fear  - that eat up our energy and time putting an unnecessary burden on our efforts. This workshop is also an introduction to the Art of Living Course.

During the workshop participants will experience:

• Breathing techniques that increase energy and vitality
• A guided meditation
• The connection between our breath, emotions, mind, body & the Self
• Discussion about the tendencies of the mind

Participants will be introduced to tools to chart a new course to healthier, happier, stress-free living.

“In an uncertain world, learning to embrace uncertainty allows us to enjoy the chaos around us and to reduce the stress and anger in our lives. The Art of Living courses teach us how to breathe and to meditate to embrace uncertainty, and, once calmer, to enjoy learning and to enhance our creativity. These, in turn, lead to happiness and a desire for connectivity with those around us. Just like exercise, after a while, sometimes months, the breathing techniques become an integral part of our lives." - Myron Scholes PhD, Nobel
