SUMMARY:Meditation Mondays
DESCRIPTION:Take a Break with Us\nWe know that owning or working in a business has been particularly hard this past year and we are guessing that you could use some TLC!\n\n\n\nJoin us as we launch our NEW Chamber program aimed at taking care of you\, our small business community. Welcome to our monthly Meditation Mondays! All it takes is half an hour (that's only 30 mins!) for us to help you put your to-do list aside\, empty your head of all the chatter and truly look after yourself.\n\n\n\n \nWho will lead the meditation?\nWe are thrilled to partner with the Kadampa Meditation Center in Oak Park to bring you this monthly meditation. The fabulous Kelsang Chogo will lead the meditation and talk you through every step. You don't need to do anything but show up and breath!\n\n\n\n\n\n(Look! You will be as happy as Chogo after you join us every month!)\nWhat if I have never meditated before?\nNo problem! We know that lots of people have never done a meditation before\, but now is the time to start. We've got you covered.\n\nHow can just sitting help me?\nJust trust us. After joining us for 30 minutes you will feel more relaxed\, focused and calm. Who doesn't want more of that!\n\nNervous to sit with your own thoughts?\nWe truly know that sometimes it's easier to stay busy than to sit still. Does your mind start racing? Are you making to-do lists? Kelsang Chogo will help you every step of the way to calm your nerves and settle that "monkey mind."\n\nWhere are we meeting?\nWe will be meeting at Brewpoint Craft Oak Park. The cafe is closed to the public on Mondays\, so we will have the whole place to ourselves!\n\n\n\n\nNeed a snack?\nMelissa Villanueva\, the owner of Brewpoint Craft Oak Park\, knows what it's like to juggle everything as a business owner and she is dedicated to helping our local business owners and staff say nourished inside and out!\n\n\n\nIf you need a little something to eat on your way back to the office\, you can pre-order a lovely charcuterie take-away snack. Coffee and tea will also be available to purchase at the cafe.
