    Contact: Sherry Evans   603-427-1540   smevans@cityofportsmouth.com
    Ever wonder why it may be difficult to stick with a regular practice of meditation? For many, meditation remains an illusive mystery. Each of us brings to a practice of meditation our own personality. Based upon our individual nature there is a "style" of meditation best suited to us. During these eight sessions we will learn about six specific types of meditation, explore the blocks that may keep us from a regular meditation practice, and find positive ways to establish a way of being in stillness that works best for you.

Although registration is not required, please plan to attend all eight session as each will build upon the previous ones. No meditation experience is necessary and any level of curiosity is acceptable! Open to Portsmouth Public Library members, this series will be held in the Levenson Room.

    Contact: Sherry Evans   603-427-1540   smevans@cityofportsmouth.com
    Ever wonder why it may be difficult to stick with a regular practice of meditation? For many, meditation remains an illusive mystery. Each of us brings to a practice of meditation our own personality. Based upon our individual nature there is a "style" of meditation best suited to us. During these eight sessions we will learn about six specific types of meditation, explore the blocks that may keep us from a regular meditation practice, and find positive ways to establish a way of being in stillness that works best for you.

Although registration is not required, please plan to attend all eight session as each will build upon the previous ones. No meditation experience is necessary and any level of curiosity is acceptable! Open to Portsmouth Public Library members, this series will be held in the Levenson Room.

Lily Sibley, owner of Ocean Spirit Yoga, 16 Market Square, Portsmouth is an experienced teacher of yoga and meditation. Please visit www.oceanspirityoga.com for more information or contact Lily 603-231-9757 or via email: lily@oceanspirityoga.com.
