As we enter the New Year we have an opportunity to look back at the things we want to continue to experience and those that we don’t. Meditation is an effective technique that helps to create more balance in our lives. 

This program will offer the attendees the opportunity to experience a powerful meditation technique and to ask questions about how to use it in your life. This technique will be explained and practiced during the session. This workshop will help one to be better prepared to start the New Year with renewal and learn a fresh practice with a new approach.

Gaurav Singh is very passionate about meditation and has been practicing meditation for over 15 years. He has used meditation as an anchor to find balance between his personal and professional life. He has led many meditation workshops and retreats which has enabled him to speak firsthand about the role of meditation in enhancing the daily lives of busy people.
