Intro to Meditation

$25 Originally: $49

with Valerie Lofaso, Noble Adult & Community Education

Calendar Jun 16, 2026 at 6 pm

This class will introduce you to foundational techniques like breath awareness and body scans to cultivate mindfulness, reduce stress, and improve focus in a supportive setting, covering basic postures, different styles (mindfulness, loving-kindness), and practical tips for integrating stillness and present-moment awareness into daily life to achieve inner calm and well-being. 

You will receive guided instruction and practice core methods, focusing primarily on breath awareness (noticing inhales/exhales) and mindfulness: understand how to gently redirect wandering thoughts back to the present moment without judgment, using the breath as an anchor.

Ideal for anyone curious about meditation or who has tried and found it difficult, anyone looking to manage anxiety and stress, or anyone seeking to enhance mental clarity and attention. You will leave with practical, simple tools to start a personal practice, realizing that meditation is a skill that develops with consistent, non-judgmental effort, not about achieving perfect stillness.

Owning or managing a small business has a lot of benefits. Small business owners may have the freedom to control their schedules, be able to focus on work that they find fulfilling, and find opportunities to positively impact their communities. But in addition to benefits like these, small business management brings with it some unique challenges. Owners of small businesses often play many roles and must have a wide body of knowledge. In a single day, a small business owner may be required to do any number of varied tasks, like approve a project plan budget, train a new employee, and develop a marketing campaign. This certificate will provide students with a fundamental understanding of the most critical areas in small business management.
