Who guides it

Sarah is a certified mindfulness meditation instructor.

This is a secular mindfulness meditation practice with an emphasis on embodiment, curiosity, and compassion. Sarah’s approach invites you to notice what is happening in your body, mind, and environment without judgment, while developing greater awareness of how we relate to ourselves, one another, and the world around us.

If what you need first is the address and the days rather than the practice, the Glen Carbon session details are set out on a page of their own. If writing is what brought you here, the same breath work runs through the way she teaches the page.

more about Sarah

It was a beautifully guided meditation, I felt fully immersed and very well guided in the practice. The visualization practice of the seven homecomings really reminded me to appreciate the help that I have received from others in this life. Thank you.

What people say afterward

Sarah was a great leader for my first guided meditation class. She has a gentle approach and creates a safe, friendly environment. Will go back!
Stephanie S.
I appreciated how the meditation was guided. Sarah was very thoughtful about the focus of each meditation, bringing in connected ideas that lead to a very insightful experience. It was also a judgement free hour, which I appreciated as someone without a solid meditation practice. The balance of spoken guiding and the moments of silence was ideal.
Sarah R.
Loved it. I really appreciated having an option for me to join with others to slow down and practice mindfulness and rest. It was comforting to my nervous system and body.

Questions

You might be wondering…

Do I need meditation experience to attend?

No experience is needed. Sarah Bland guides the community meditation from start to finish. She is a certified mindfulness meditation instructor (The Interdependence Project, New York City).

How long is a session?

Thirty minutes, 11:30 AM to 12 PM. Enter Peace runs it inside a lunch hour deliberately, so people working nearby in Glen Carbon and Edwardsville can attend without taking time off. Sessions happen every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

What should I bring?

Nothing. Thrive Holistic Co-Working Community provides the space and the seating for the Enter Peace circles. Come as you are, in whatever you wore to work, and leave at noon.

Come on Monday at 11:30.

It is thirty minutes and you can be back at your desk by noon.
