Meditation at Monona Terrace

Mondays, February 13 - April 9 
11:45AM - 12:30PM, Community Terrace 
FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC

If stress has you anxious, tense and worried, consider trying mindfulness meditation. Spending even a few minutes in meditation can reconnect you with a sense of calm and inner peace. Anyone can practice meditation. It's simple, inexpensive, and doesn't require any special equipment. You can bring mindfulness to any of your daily activities… out for a walk, riding the bus, waiting at the doctor's office or even in the middle of a difficult business meeting. Meditation can give you a sense of calm, peace and balance that benefits both your emotional well-being and your overall health. 

With an overwhelming response to last year, we are pleased to again offer this free program for the public.  Led by  Lisa Rambaldo, PsyD, a mind-body practitioner and licensed psychologist with Dean Clinic, you will discover the art and science of meditation and healing.  No session March 19. Chairs will be available. Walk-ins are welcome.  These sessions are provided through the generous support of Dean Clinic and Dr. Rambaldo.

"This was a life-changing experience for me. Meditation has been something that I have always wanted to learn, and the results have been more than I could have imagined, including better quality of sleep, and a personal sense of calm and gratitude for life that I don't remember ever having. This class gave me the desire to continue learning about mindfulness meditation and to practice what I have learned. Dr Lisa Rambaldo was amazing. Her guidance and her kindness made this class something I looked forward to every week. Thank you so much for offering this class. I would definitely participate again given the chance".

"This is an outstanding program and the leader does an amazing job. It was so nice to see so many people in attendance and also to see that people felt comfortable in attending even if they had missed previous sessions. This is an outstanding community service and a wonderful use of the facility. The surroundings served to enhance the programming".

"I loved the whole experience. Learning Tai Chi while gazing at the beautiful lake view energized me for the rest of my work day".
