Lisa Hassett, owner of Reiki of Greater Boston, in Waltham, will present a workshop for sampling several styles of meditation from 4 to 6 p.m., August 20. The workshop will cover mindfulness, mantra, sound, guided and walking meditation styles, as well as Reiki-3 Diamonds of Ki and a tea ceremony.

“Many clients and students tell me they’ve tried and tried to meditate but have had no luck,” says Hassett. “I understand totally. It’s difficult to just sit, trying to achieve a blank mind. There are so many different ways to reach the same end, however, and some of them are really fun and engaging.”

All levels are welcome, and Hassett will provide mats and props. “I hope students will learn to meditate or learn a new meditation method in this workshop,” she says. “It can bring a bit of quiet and calm to our body, mind and life.”

Cost: $35. Location: 160 School St., Ste. 1-1, Waltham. Pre-registration is required by calling 508-335-3814 or visiting ReikiOfGreaterBoston.com.
