" The rush and pressure of modern life are a form, perhaps the most common form, of it's innate violence. To allow oneself to be carried away by a multitude of conflicting demands, to commit oneself to too many projects, to want to help everyone in everything is to succumb to violence. More than that, it is cooperation in violence. The frenzy of the activist ... destroys his own inner capacity for peace. It destroys the fruitfulness of his own work, because it kills the root of inner wisdom which makes work fruitful."
Thomas Merton

Creating Space for Relaxation
Many people suffer from stress, have trouble sleeping and find it difficult to relax. Managing stress helps to reduce tension, improve sleep and lift mood. The good news is that relaxation not only relieves stress, it is a skill which can be developed. Each class consists of breath work, relaxation and short meditation. Each practice is easy to learn and can be done at home either seated in a chair or lying down. No previous experience is required.
