Who leads it
Who leads the Glen Carbon meditation circles?
Sarah Bland leads the Glen Carbon meditation circles. She is a certified mindfulness meditation instructor (The Interdependence Project, New York City), and the Creative Director of Thrive Holistic Co-Working Community, where the sessions are held three mornings a week.
She is also a writing coach, and the two practices inform each other directly. If the meditation is what brings you in, the free Monday evening Writers’ Circle is the other half of the same practice.
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!
