This month’s Natural Awakenings “Mindful Mondays with Michael” is being held from 6 to 7 p.m. on Monday, February 19, via Google Meets.  Each workshop follows the editorial calendar theme of the month. For February, the focus is heart-healthy living. 

This free online workshop, hosted by Michael Lehrman, co-publisher of Natural Awakenings New York City and Long Island editions, begins with an introduction to the theme of the month, followed by an open forum for attendees to briefly share thoughts and set their intentions for the meditation. Lehrman will then guide the group through a meditation aimed at seeding their intentions while also nourishing and replenishing their nervous systems.

This inspiring monthly offering is an offshoot of Natural Awakenings former community meditation group, Lehrman’s first collaborative local Natural Awakenings wellness initiative. 

No prior meditation experience is necessary to attend. “In fact, each time you come I invite you to participate with a beginner’s mind,” invites Lehrman. “Whether you’re a seasoned meditator, or just stopping by to see what it’s all about, please join us as we take some time to relax and give our nervous systems a much-needed break, while also consciously setting intentions aligned with each month’s editorial theme.”

Participants are encouraged to set aside time in a quiet space for at least an hour, wear comfortable clothing, and bring a notebook, pen and paper to take notes and set intentions for the month. 

Cost: Free. Location: Google Meets. For more information and to register, call 212-726-1420 or email [email protected].
