Begin the year with intention and self-care during Mindful Mondays with Michael, a free virtual meditation session happening on Monday, January 20, from 6 to 7 p.m. via Google Meet.

Hosted by Michael Lehrman, co-publisher of Natural Awakenings and a certified mindfulness expert, this monthly series offers a guided meditation designed to help participants release stress, foster clarity, and cultivate inner balance. Whether you’re new to meditation or a seasoned practitioner, this session is the perfect way to pause, reflect and embrace fresh energy for the year ahead.

“As we start a new year, meditation offers an opportunity to realign with what truly nourishes us,” says Lehrman. “It’s a practice that not only soothes the mind but also nurtures a sense of purpose and clarity for the days to come.”

For over two years, Lehrman has been creating a supportive space through these monthly gatherings, fostering a growing community of participants eager to explore mindfulness as a tool for navigating life’s challenges.

“With each session, we strengthen our connection to the present moment,” shares Lehrman. “Meditation is a gift we can give ourselves to feel more grounded, more vibrant, and more at peace with the world around us. Make this the year you prioritize your well-being. Join our Mindful Mondays community and discover the transformative power of meditation.”
