Sessions usually include a brief introduction, a few minutes of gentle commentary-guided meditation, and time to ask questions or share reflections. It's simple, quiet, and peaceful.
Do I need to bring anything or wear special clothes?
Just come as you are! Comfortable clothing is great, but there's no dress code and no equipment needed.
