The schedule for the first round is as follows:

* Tuesday, 11/14: Miranda Mauldon leads a boundary-breaking and self-exploratory loving-kindness meditation class, with exercises to calm the mind and open the heart, followed by a meditation on loving-kindness for self and all others.
* Tuesday, 11/21: Mel Crumb leads a guided water meditation aimed at developing presence and greater connection with the self.
* Tuesday, 11/28: Jamie Reygle leads an introduction to walking meditation, in which participants will be offered more fulfilling ways to walk in the world.
* Tuesday, 12/5: Tommy Bailey presents Minding the Gap, a meditation technique that uses awareness of breath to help develop deeper concentration.
* Tuesday, 12/12: Angela Cardenas leads participants in exploring and experiencing several gratitude practices, focusing attention on the abundance we have in our lives.
* Tuesday, 12/19: Jamie Reygle leads meditations focusing on the senses, to help develop a greater awareness of all the present moment can entail.
