Meditate Marquette Presents: A Year of Mindful Living- Saturday, January 4, 2025. 10:00am – 11:30am. Peter White Public Library, Shiras Room. Four mindfulness meditation and yoga teachers invite you to engage in a year of mindful living. Each month, one of the teachers will present a topic that addresses the different dimensions where we can practice mindfulness and presence. The intent is for us to cultivate mindfulness, care, and well-being individually and in our love, business, and social relationships. These are drop-in sessions, although committing to a full year is a way to build a consistent mindfulness practice. No admission charge. Click here for more information.
