About this event

Join Dr. Matthew Raider who will discuss how meditation on the Inner Light can improve our physical, mental, and spiritual health. We are living in times that are stressful, and meditation can be just the tool we need to help us cope with the challenges of everyday life and seasonal stress. You will have a chance to learn a simple and practical approach to meditation that has tremendous healing properties on all levels.
