We want to tell you about something close to home.
Our founder, Dr. Jay Motley, helped start the Greenville Zen Center, a free meditation group he created for the community here in the Upstate. It's a place anyone can come to sit, breathe, and find a little calm.
There's no cost and no catch. You don't need any experience, and you don't need to call yourself a meditator. You just show up and sit.
So much of what we talk about in lifestyle medicine comes down to managing stress and staying connected to other people, and honestly, a quiet morning sitting with others does both about as well as anything we could prescribe. That's why we wanted to share it.
If it sounds like something you could use right now, go give them a follow and come to a sit. We'd love to see you there.
Come as you are.
That is the whole invitation. Suzuki captured the gentle paradox of practice in a single line: you are already complete, and there is still room to grow.
We hold both at the Greenville Zen Center, where beginners are always welcome and no experience is required. The gate is open. Details at www.greenvillezen.org.
