What's the Deal with Meditation? "Bring Your Friend Night" with Patrick Groneman

Free if you are a first-timer!

$10/$5 students/members if you've been to IDP before.

Why do we meditate? Why don't we meditate? How does it aid mental health and wellbeing? What are some of the common misconceptions of meditation? What does it really mean to practice meditation and study Buddhism?

Patrick Groneman will guide us through mindfulness meditation and an exploration of the benefits of practice, as well as confusion surrounding it.

This class is a great opportunity to bring a friend of yours who is new to IDP, or for you yourself to come to IDP for the first time. If you come with a friend who has been here before, the class is FREE for the IDP first-timer!
