After several difficult pandemic years, we are delighted to announce that in-person & group mindfulness sessions will resume in Halifax on the second Monday of each month at noon and in Dartmouth every Thursday at 4pm.
If you are not able to attend one of the in-person sessions, we continue to offer online group sessions on Tuesday and Wednesday.
With 4 time slots (2 in-person, and 2 on-line), we hope there is a time to meet everyone’s schedule!
We would love to see old and new faces at one or more of our mindfulness practice sessions.
If you have not recently participated in our group sessions, the benefits of guided
meditation in a group setting are of great value to all, and we encourage you to
reconnect with our sessions. Please pass the word and extend a personal invitation to your friends and family! Mindfulness is for everyone!

1. 2nd Monday monthly (12-1pm), starting with January 8 – Halifax Shambala
