Join us for Meditation Mondays, a gentle, peer-led gathering hosted by Laurie Cassinari and the Metanoia Collective Co. Each week, we create a calm and welcoming space for you to slow down, reconnect with your breath, and return to your inner stillness. This community-centered meditation invites participants of all levels to simply arrive as they are, no expectations, no performance, nothing to prove. Through shared presence, softening, and mindful awareness, we cultivate grounded energy and a sense of ease to carry into the week.
Sessions take place in the AWAKENING room at The Bridge Healing Arts Center in Farmington, CT, every Monday from 6:30–7:30 PM, with a donation-based offering.
