“Be Still and Know: The Power of a Quiet Mind”
with Angela Gala
Angela Gala is Charlotte Meditation’s Senior Instructor. Previously the owner of a prominent event design and production firm, Angela has been featured on the Today Show and quoted about event production by The Associated Press, ABC News, MSNBC, and Bankrate. In the middle of her career, she began studying and working in meditation with Guru Ranjit. In what could be a high-stress and competitive industry, she realized, through meditation, that she can be calm, focused, more creative and more productive no matter what else might be going on.
​
The impact meditation had on her work and family life brought her to want to share this practice with others, most especially children. She is a mother of three children who are her most enjoyable experiment with mindfulness meditation.
Ms. Gala has been studying meditation since 2008 and has taught Laughter Yoga and Mindfulness Meditation not only in her studio but also in corporations, non-profits, universities and schools. Her belief in the need for a secular and universal presentation of mindfulness meditation prompted Ms. Gala and Guru Ranjit to create the Youth Meditation program.
​
This Sunday, we invite you to take a breath and reset with us. Gala will be sharing her personal experience and insights in mindfulness and meditation, offering practical techniques to help us cultivate peace, clarity, and resilience in the stressful world in which we live.
