Join us for our Weekly Mindfulness Meditation session at ​Sandy Spring Museum. Discover the incredible benefits of mindfulness and delve into the art of meditation. Through this practice, you can cultivate a healthier mind and body, reduce stress, nurture compassion, and enhance your memory skills.
During our sessions, we will explore various facets of meditation, with a special emphasis on developing present moment awareness.

This heightened state of awareness can bring profound peace, clarity, and joy to our lives.
Our sessions will be led by experienced practitioners from the Buddha Meditation Center of Greater Washington DC. Whether you are a seasoned meditator or someone eager to learn, all are welcome to join. Each participant can progress at their own pace, creating a comfortable environment for everyone.
Please note that seating will be provided in the form of chairs or floor cushions. If you prefer, you may bring your own cushion for added comfort.
