How can I possibly sit comfortably to do this? What’s the point of
meditation anyway? Can I possibly rid my mind of thoughts? This
meditation workshop & series will provide accessible tools and
practices to the beginner and regular practitioner alike. Each week will
have a theme and equip participants not only with some answers to
frequently asked questions that inquiring minds want to know, but also
with forms of meditation you can take with you. We will go deep at
times, but we will do it with humor and even some fun! If you can’t
attend all three sessions, fear not, some of the foundation tools and
faqs will be part of every session. Join Anna, domestic and
international retreat leader, DC-based teacher of meditation and yoga,
and organizational wellness consultant on Burnout for this meditation
series. You can find Anna at Lighthouse on our sub team for Kundalini
& Hatha yoga! Week 1: Grounding/Calming Week 2: Uplifting Week 3:

Anna Franklin
When she suddenly became a part-time caretaker to a parent and then a
sibling, Anna not only found the strength and courage in yoga to be a
little kinder and a bit more patient, but also found herself
increasingly attracted to the idea of sharing this healing practice with
others. As a teacher, Anna strives to create a warm and welcoming
community with her students while also focusing on the rigor of the
practice to cultivate the rich and universal spirituality that yoga
offers. She brings a sense of humor and deep care to her meditation and
yoga classes. Her approach to teaching, much like her other work as a
Workplace Wellness/Burnout Mitigation Consultant and Community Organizer
(and pet sitter extraordinaire) is embodied by the spirit of Cura
Personalis, or Care for the Whole Person. If you take a class, workshop,
or attend a retreat with Anna, you can expect some time with your
breath, space for reflection, (and maybe some chanting!). Anna completed
her 200 hour Vinyasa yoga teacher training in 2014 at The Studio DC and
her 220 hour Kundalini Yoga TT in 2017 at Lighthouse Yoga Center,
graduated from The Living School at the Center for Action and
Contemplation with Fr. Richard Rohr, OFM, in 2019 and is currently a
part of Shalem Institute for Spiritual Formation’s Transforming
Community: Leading Contemplative Spiritual Groups and Retreats. She
leads retreats, workshops, and series both in the U.S. and overseas and
is based in Washington, DC and Portugal. Anna is known for her humor and
warmth, depth, and making a variety of practices accessible, welcoming,
meditative, and dare we say: fun! Connect with Anna here on her website
or on social media here.
