Each month, we invite the teachers at WITHIN to offer wisdom and inspiration around a particular topic. In May, we’re talking about anxiety: what’s happening in our minds and bodies when we experience it, and how meditation can help reduce it.
On May 22nd, two of our teachers will get together for an informal conversation on Zoom exploring this month’s theme: Kellie Aponte and Devon Pipars. Whether you join them live 10-11am PDT / 1-2pm EDT, or listen to the recording afterwards, you’re sure to get a variety of perspectives and ideas to nourish your meditation practice.
Anyone can submit a question ahead of time for the teachers - just fill out this quick form. We also welcome your questions live! Please note, during the conversation we will record both the questions submitted and the responses from the teachers. If you’d prefer that we not mention your name, be sure to indicate that on the form or when you type your question in the Zoom chat.
This conversation will be held online via Zoom; the link will be provided to you via email when you register. Registration is $15.
If you’re a WITHIN Member, this is included in your membership - email us for the promo code!
Kellie Aponte
When Kellie Aponte no longer wanted to accept anxiety and stress in her daily life, she started her meditation journey, focusing on learning different styles of meditation and mindfulness.
Fast forward to 2022, she decided it was time to take her practice a step further, and teach.
After graduating from The Chopra Center, Kellie has dedicated a large part of her life to teaching people how simple, effortless, and easy meditation can be - if they are open to the journey.
"I've experienced such a tremendous transformation, that it's motivated me to share this information. That's what I'm called to do right now and I must honor that." - Kellie
