As the vibrant days of June unfold, Mindful Mondays with Michael returns to offer a moment of stillness and connection on Monday, June 9, from 6 to 7 p.m. via Google Meet. This free monthly meditation session invites participants to pause, reset and reconnect with a deeper sense of presence.

Led by Michael Lehrman, co-publisher of Natural Awakenings and a certified mindfulness facilitator, the gathering blends gentle guidance with practical techniques to cultivate awareness and ease. “We live in a world that moves quickly,” says Lehrman. “Meditation gives us the space to slow down and listen—to ourselves, to our breath, to what truly matters.”

Now in its third year, the series continues to grow a welcoming community of like-minded individuals who value reflection and self-care. “When we take time to be still, we often find clarity we didn’t know we needed,” Lehrman notes. “This practice isn't about escaping life—it’s about meeting it with more openness and compassion.”
