Taylor has trained for over 15 years in many different spiritual traditions, including mindfulness, Zen, and ancient yogic practices. He teaches movement and meditation that emphasize being present with what's here and opening to our boundless capacity.

Taylor will be offering sessions throughout the year to fit your schedule:
- Guided Meditations & Discussion (Perfect for a weekly recharge)

Sunday Brunch Buffet: Mar 8: with Christine Baillargeon
Join us for Sunday Brunch, March 8 from 9am-1pm. How blessed to have this Bridgton gem in our midst! Here is an expert from her website:
The Girl
Just a dreamer from California, inhabited early by the music, traveling the ready escape a beautiful melody provides…
a young girl lulled to sleep by the sweetly sung ballads of joni, carly, dylan and james… it is no wonder she picked up that guitar.
thus began the love of stringed instruments and the merciful diversion that saved her from lesser things… FMI: YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4eCfrjI6HTBVvRpj0BpEhg Website: https://ccbaillargeon.com/
