Are you interested in or curious about meditation? Maybe you’ve tried it, thought about trying it, or haven’t quite been convinced that it’s for you. Or, maybe you’ve been practicing on your own, but are interested in also practicing with others…
Nicole Grenier, Owner of Stowe Street Cafe in Waterbury, VT, has been practicing various forms of meditation for most of her life and she has recently completed her Meditation Teacher Training at the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health. She is honored to begin sharing the many benefits of meditation in ways that are welcoming, supportive, and non-judgmental.
Her first offering of seated chair meditations continues Tuesday, September 17, 2024 from 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm. This is part of a 6-week series where all are welcome to join for one session, all six sessions, or anything in between as it works for you.
All sessions are being offered on a drop-in basis (no need to sign up in advance) with donations on a sliding-scale welcome, but never required. ($10 suggested donation per session). All donations will be used to help support the continuation of these offerings, while helping to also cover donations for those who may not be able to contribute financially at this time.
Nicole will greet participants at 3:45 pm, with practice beginning promptly at 4:00 pm. Kindly avoid arriving late in order to support and respect the practice of the group.
Each session will include a combination of guided/sound/mindful movement meditation and will follow the basic format below, however some times will be adjusted as needed:
- Welcome/Introduction: 10-15 minutes
- Guided Meditation/Silent Sitting: 15-20 minutes
- Integration/Closing: 10-15 minutes
The remaining time will be reserved for any questions while closing out our practice to head out together by 5:00 pm.
Donations can be made the day of via cash/check/or Venmo (@stowestreetcafe).
Any additional questions may be directed to Nicole at: info@stowestreetcafe.com
Looking forward to practicing together!
“First Meditative Session at Stowe Street Cafe was fantastic!! Nicole led a small group of us through a guided meditation that included some breath work, gentle stretching, and ended with silence - all in a chair sitting position. Her voice is very calming and there is no pressure to remain still (we are human). It was such a great way to end your day with calm and rest your monkey mind for an hour. If you’re interested in meditation I highly recommend joining this series.” - BP
