6Free Mindfulness &
Meditation Classes
Koru Mindfulness is a 4 session no-credit course
taught by Valencia Counselor Dr. Marcia Roman,
that will teach you the skill of mindfulness.
It will also help you build the habit of using it in your life on
a regular basis. We’ve found that folks get a lot more out of
Koru if they stick with it from beginning to end; therefore, pre-
registration and attendance at all 4 sessions is required.
Double check your calendar and then sign up
for one of the classes below.
