Let go of stress, enjoy inner peace and find more joy at the Introduction to Meditation Workshop, from 2 to 6 p.m., October 19. The workshops are offered monthly.

Participants will learn how to create an inner space and clarity that enables us to control our mind, regardless of external circumstances. Through developing a meditation practice, we can gradually let go of the agitated states of mind, such as anger, fear or jealousy, which produce unhappiness, and instead cultivate peaceful, powerful minds such as love, acceptance, wisdom and joy.

The workshop includes a series of one-hour sessions, in each of which a different meditation technique will be explained, followed by a meditation on that particular instruction. Practical advice will be given on how to set up a sustainable and rewarding personal meditation routine, as well as how to integrate a meditation practice into daily life.

Cost is $10 for introductory talk, $15 including retreat. Location: 1701 E. Miles St. For more information, call 520-441-1617, email [email protected] or visit MeditationInTucson.org.
