Hello SN&R Readers,
Meditation has been around since at least the time of the Buddha more than 2,500 years ago, and there many methods espoused for finding peace and liberation through the practice. Dozens are represented in the Sacramento region; we visited a handful to give you the scoop on where they are and what to expect when you visit. Find this and lots more in this week’s paper.
Enjoy,
SN&R
