Meditation Conversation with Lenny Willis


Meditation Workshop in Exeter 
STRESS and the Antidote... with Lenny Willis at Art Up Front Street.

Tuesday, June 11, 6 to 7:30 pm. Join us for an insightful discovery of self healing and meditation. Learn tips to manage stress, learn what it is, take home "tools" to help you balance your days and the moments that can seem to unravel your best intentions. 

How do you take a step back? How do you know when you need a gentle calming? What are the signs? How do you discern what is urgent from what is important. How do you develop a practical and simple meditation style that fits your energy? This gentle meditation workshop is for anyone... not just creatives (who may seem to others to be calm in life's hectic pace). 

Lenny Willis, yoga instructor and coach at Balance Life Coaching, will help educate us on the biology of meditation. He will lead short meditations for examples of steps we can each take to manage our days, and he also will answer any questions from the group. 

SIGNUPS: are necessary in advance by email to artupfrontstreet@gmail.com
The cost of this one-time workshop is $15. 
Wear comfortable clothes. We will be sitting in chairs (rather than on the floor).
Hot tea, lemon water and a few light snacks will be available.

TGIF, Friday kick back at the studio... we love a reason to just hang out

Fridays this summer. Mark your calendar! June 21, July 12, August 2. A bev, a bite to eat... on the coral benches out front at the studio. Talk about stuff. Creative schmoozing at its finest.
5 'til 7... give or take?
No RSVP needed.... just your wonderful self.
