Winter blues set in this time of year. Lakeside Buddha Sangha offers an opportunity to cultivate happiness, energy, and awareness during a day of mindfulness from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Feb. 2 at the Ecology Center, 2024 McCormick Blvd.
“Be Still and Know: A Life Illumined by Meditation,” a mostly silent day of mindfulness, will include sitting and walking meditation and talks by teachers Jack and Laurie Lawlor from Evanston-based Lakeside Buddha Sangha.
