Meditation is easiest when you're wearing clothes that you feel comfortable moving in and sitting in - be that in a chair or on a meditation cushion.
We strive to be a scent-free environment. In order to care for community members with serious allergies, please do not use products with ingredients like "fragrance," "parfum," or other indications of scents.
