7pm Mindfulness Meditation and Connection Circle (Biweekly)

*After a long break, our recurring mindfulness sessions are back! Come join us every other Thursday for mindful connection and honest conversation, in a new location:)*

Life is busy, and sometimes it’s a lot. These sessions are a chance to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and practice being present with whatever is actually here.

They’re also a rare opportunity to connect with others in a warm, nonjudgmental space where you don’t have to perform, impress anyone, or have it all figured out.

Whether it’s your first time meditating or you’ve been practicing for years, you’re very welcome here.

• Location: [California Bliss Yoga Studio](https://maps.app.goo.gl/2tVc5izq5f85kxfc6), Minami-Asagaya • Time: Doors open at 7pm. We start at 7:10pm and finish at 8:45pm. • Price: 2,000 yen

Important: Please do not arrive early or hang out in the hallways as the neighbors have been known to complain. Please come up at 7pm sharp and we get started at 710pm. If you arrive early, please wait downstairs on the 1st floor until 7pm.

💴 Payment: Our regular sessions are 2,000 yen. Pay cash or PayPay at the end of the session.

🙏 RSVP: Please be serious about reserving a spot, and unRSVP as soon as you have decided you're not going to make it.

Even if it’s your first time meditating, come give it a try. You don’t need to be “good” at meditation to join. I provide guidance and we also do a range of straightforward practices to connect that aren't your typical meditation practices.

See you there!
