Meditation with Don Kramer
1st & 3rd Thursday of each Month 7pm-8:30pm
Donations Accepted

The focus of the Meditation Group is to create a space for silence and stillness in our lives while blending that with a time for personal sharing, support and community. This will be a time to step out of the energies and consciousness of our everyday lives and make room for a deeper connection with our source. We will assist each other in harmonizing and weaving together the eternal and timeless aspects of ourselves with the concerns and realities of our personal lives. Through guided meditation, silence and personal sharing and support, we hope to assist each other in blending the spiritual and personal for greater clarity, peace and well being.

The Meditation Group will be led by Don Kramer, Ph.D.; Don is a clinical Psychologist in private practice who has been doing clinical work for 30 years. He has special interest in integrating spiritual practice with psychological intervention and has led meditation groups and workshop in this area.
