These practices aren’t about ignoring difficulty—they’re about training the mind to register goodness more fully and deeply. The evening will include gentle teaching, guided practices, and meditations that you can easily bring into daily life. Through reflection and experience, you’ll learn how to “take in the good” in ways that support resilience, emotional balance, and a greater sense of ease. No prior meditation experience is needed—just a curiosity about how small shifts in attention can create meaningful change.Instructor: Melanie SchwindtDate: Wednesday, March 25th, 2026Time: 6:30 to 8:30pmPlace: The Staircase Theatre 27 Dundurn St North, HamiltonFees: Early bird until March 18th: $25 members; $35 non-member*; $10 student/financial hardshipAfter March 19th: $30 members; $40 non-member*; $15 student/financial hardship*Note: Membership in Mindfulness Hamilton is $25 per year What should I do if I have more questions?
