RELAX YOUR BODY AND STILL YOUR MIND WHILE SURROUNDED BY ART

Buddhist Meditation is an ancient set of teachings, which enables the practitioner to connect body and mind in the moment with utmost loving-kindness to oneself and to the rest of the world.  Mindful and light physical movements are used to bring oneself to the present moment.
