THE MEDITATION INITIATIVE NAMES MEDITATION LEADERS FOR KEY ON-GOING OUTREACH PROGRAMS

The Meditation Initiative has named eight trained, experienced meditation leaders to conduct its meditation outreach programs at key organizations throughout the San Diego area.

According to TMI Executive Director Jeff Zlotnik, the new outreach meditation leaders and the organizations they will serve include:

• Luis Martel, KPBS Public Broadcasting for San Diego

• David Viafora, Monarch School and King Chavez High School
• Sunshine Palmejar, La Jolla Recovery Sober Living Home
• Gail Braverman, The Braille Institute of San Diego

In making the announcement, Zlotnik said these organizations are typical of the diverse range of groups The Meditation Initiative serves. “We conduct free meditation sessions each week for children, adults and seniors to help reduce stress and anxiety, improve focus and share tools for anger management, while improving overall health and wellbeing,” he said. “This includes everything from Catholic Charities to Jewish Family Services, wounded warriors at the U.S. Navy Medical Center, and SDSU, UCSD, San Diego City College and more.” “These new meditation leaders,” he added, “will help us to serve these vital community groups more consistently and more effectively than ever before.”
