Hendrick Hudson Free Library

Inspired by Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer, this workshop led by Ann Elizabeth Byrne from Hudson Valley Meditation &amp; Reiki explores themes of gratitude, balance, and the idea of reciprocity--how what we give and receive shapes our inner and outer lives.
You will be introduced to these concepts in a practical, relatable way, followed by a guided meditation focused on awareness and appreciation. &nbsp;Reiki energy is offered during the meditation to support grounding and emotional balance, followed by singing bowls to help integrate the experience. &nbsp;Ann will finish with a short reflective moment to help you consider how these ideas can be carried into everyday life. &nbsp;
You do not need to have read the book to attend.&nbsp; Visit the library's Web site to register.&nbsp; Limited seating.
