You are invited to participate in a
Zen Meditation Class
With Andrea F. Polard, Psy.D.
Happiness comes from managing our lives skillfully as well as from serenity.
But how do we find the right balance?
Zen meditation centers us,
reduces stress,
and brings us the necessary clarity.
Beginners of meditation are welcome. The class is an opportunity to experience community while sitting quietly. There will be time to address questions about life in the modern world. The class is not psychotherapy and requires solid emotional health.
I am looking forward to you.
Sincerely,
Andrea
Time: Thursday mornings (9:30 am) and evenings (7:30 pm); classes begin May 6th 2010
Place: 2001 Barrington Blvd., Suite 110, Los Angeles, 90025
Fee: $ 15 per session (one hour)
Please RSVP: Tel: 310-455-0928 or DrAPolard@verizon.net
