Meditation with Sahaja Yoga

Free

with Jerry Mayfield, Lake Region & Fryeburg Area Adult Education

Calendar Oct 17, 2023 at 6:30 pm

If you thought meditation was just for stress relief, then be prepared to be amazed! 2023 marks the birthday centennial of the founder of Sahaja Yoga, Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, who selflessly helped to empower people to lead more balanced lives and achieve greater spiritual heights through meditation by developing the techniques that form the basis of Sahaja Yoga. Sahaja Yoga is an antar yoga meaning 'inner connection' and no physical exercise is required. There is nothing to bring but yourself! Beginners welcome.

About the instructor: Jerry Mayfield has more than 25 years experience sharing Sahaja Yoga meditation in libraries, universities, street fairs, prisons, recovery facilities and even a midtown Manhattan elevator stuck between floors.
