It’s normal to feel anxious, yet Jesus teaches, “Do not be anxious about tomorrow.” So, how do we do this?
Join Dr. Kirk Bingaman to explore how mindfulness and spiritual practice can help us cope with feelings of anxiety and reactivity, so we can respond to ourselves — and the world around us — with compassion.
Learn how contemplative practice:

Empowers us to be less reactive and recover quickly when we are reactive
Mitigates judgment and cultivates compassion for self and others
Enables us to detach from expectations and live in the present moment
Light dinner will be served at 6pm, with a program start time of 6:30pm. Registration is requested but not required.
