Thank you so much to everyone who came out to join us for our 2nd general meeting! We had the pleasure of meditating for most of our meeting under the guidance of Dr. Rael Cahn, who introduced us to the concept of MBSR (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction). Dr. Cahn helped us achieve a better understanding of the psychological, clinical, and medical applications of meditating. Those who came also received free boba and fruits as refreshment! We were so glad to see you all come out, but if you missed the meeting, here is a brief recap:
If you have any suggestions as to who you would like to hear from, or what you would like to hear more about in regards to IM, please email any of the board members; we would love to hear your input.
In addition, our next meeting will be during Week 8. Please check your emails for additional information on location and our next guest speaker!
