In today’s fast-paced and demanding world, stress and mental overload have become part of daily life.

Participants will gain a practical understanding of how regular meditation supports mental health, creativity, and inner stability.

Cheryl Smith Alvarez is the Director of the Westchester Transcendental Meditation Center in Katonah, NY, and a certified TM teacher with the David Lynch Foundation in Manhattan.
