Before the Date…
The insanity of our modern lives takes its toll by the time happy hour hits on Friday. Then it’s straight to drinks and next thing you know it’s Monday. This date with the team from @offthemenu is designed to start your weekend off with some self love.
So gather your partner and head to the coast to find some doughy dharma through loving yourself, loving your partner and loving some pizza.

LOVE YOURSELF
with a guided meditation
What to Know
Setting up a time to meditate with Linda is as simple as sending her an email to discuss when it will work best. Reach her at: linda@satisangha.org
The office is tricky to find. It’s on the second floor closest to the 6th and Arizona intersection.
You will be taking your shoes off so be prepared. Linda suggests not wearing any heels. You’ll be walking on this date later so heels are highly discouraged.
This brand of meditation is not a formal guiding but more of a do then discuss approach. Being as open as you can with Linda after your session can lead to some breakthroughs. Plus she has been studying the practice here for over 20 years and knows her stuff.
