Each fall Dr. Elliott Dacher helps Vineyarders take a pause in their lives to settle deeply into the present moment. This year is no different as he presents once again a seven-week meditation training program at Martha’s Vineyard hospital, beginning Wednesday, Oct. 2.

The aim of the course is to turn overactive minds into places of mental clarity and inner peace. For information and registration, contact the Martha’s Vineyard Hospital at mvhmeditation@partners.org or 508-957-9479.
