@tarabrach is the real At the root of finding real peace and happiness is kindness towards ourselves.

The next #MindfulYEG sit is this Wednesday, November 4 at 7pm in the most beautiful space: @littlebrickyeg. We’ll be socially distanced and space is (very) limited - there are only a few tickets left and attendees will need to purchase a ticket in advance to ensure we are keeping everyone safe. Tickets available via the link in our bio. Everyone is welcome, whether you have a daily practice or are just starting out. Bring a cushion if you’d like to sit on the floor, ho...wever, chairs will be provided. #mindfulyeg #yeg #yegevents #mindfulness #meditation See more

Full version! Thanks again to @thesquir3, @oodlenoodlegram and @littlebrickyeg for all their support! Go get those noodles! . Reposted from @oodlenoodlegram Of particular relevance to this time, this week's community partner speaks to the importance of mindfulness, meditation and how it's ok to not be ok (even if we lost to Chicago)...... This week @thesquir3 met up with Shay and April at @littlebrickyeg to talk about the work that @shadyapeyeg is doing to strengthen community and support mental health via inclusive and accessible meditative practices and spaces. If there was ever a moment where we need leaders to show us how to take a moment, it's now. Thank you so much to our customers for continuing to support us so we can support important community initiatives like Shady Ape! Have a wonderful (and zen) week everybody...

Did you know we are sponsored? Our partnerships with @oodlenoodlegram and @littlebrickyeg allow us to keep costs low for our sits. It is our goal to keep meditation and mindfulness accessible for our community. This means having a location that provides few barriers physically, is accessible by transit, and is safe through covid protocols. Being accessible also means keeping costs low. We ask for $10 to hold your spot but if that is out of reach, just send us a note...we woul...d love to have you! We also teach from a secular framework. This means that our meditation and mindfulness teachings are stripped of any religious teachings. Thanks to Oodle Noodle and Little Brick for their generous donations of space and resources. With their help we can continue to provide meditation and mindfulness instruction and support for the Edmonton community. How can you help? By visiting an Oodle Noodle store and buying a meal (not through delivery or a third party delivery company). A portion of proceeds will be donated to Shady Ape. With love, Shay and April See more

We are this week's recipient of Oodle Noodle's generosity! When you purchase food in store a portion of the proceeds go towards supporting local organizations, like us! So please head to your closest Oodle Noodle this week and support meditation and mindfulness instruction in Edmonton! https://www.facebook.com/OodleNoodle/videos/3060430487402080/?extid=TAVBoIwP827pOVBd
