Meditate & Mingle Fourth Tuesday Every Month

Join Vicki Funneman of Effingham Public Library and Lotus Room Yoga for an hour of mindful movement, meditation and social connection. The group will enjoy a half hour of gentle movement, intentional breathing and guided meditation followed by a half hour of socializing with fellow participants over a cup of tea. Tea will be provided by the Library.

Meditate & Mingle will meet on Tuesday, May 23 at 2:00 PM at the Suzette Brumleve Memorial Effingham Public Library’s Workman Room and meets regularly on the fourth Tuesday of each month.

Mindfulness meditation is a beneficial practice that can help one to lessen anxiety and depression, improve relaxation, and reduce stress. Another beneficial, although underappreciated practice whose roots are deeply embedded in our evolution, is socializing. According to Psychology Today, socializing may lead to a longer life, better physical health, better mental health, and a lower risk for dementia.
