Guided Meditation for Stress, Anxiety and Overthinking - A Meditation Workshop in Upstate NY 2025
Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.
In the Saturday workshop we will learn how overcoming anxiety means more than coping with stress. It means replacing the root causes of our worries with powerful, confident attitudes. We can do this through meditation. In this experiential workshop, we will explore where anxiety comes from, how to reduce and eliminate its causes, and learn how to create healthy mental habits for peace. The class will include ample time for meditation, discussion and questions.
Everyone is welcome!
You are welcome to attend the Entire Catskill Getaway Weekend & Workshop.
