  • Bruce Black
    A gentle, open hearted introduction to mindfulness and meditation, this class offers students of all levels of experience and backgrounds the tools needed to begin a meditation practice. What’s most refreshing about the class is the teacher’s ability to convey a sense of joy in developing a meditation practice—she reminds us that it’s not always a serious endeavor—and a willingness to accept what is in each moment without judgment or expectations. Judith Simmer Brown’s voice is both calming and inspiring, and her knowledge of meditation, its practice and history, is a rare gift for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of meditation.
