What's up in Lansing: Meditation and more

Good day on this cloudy Tuesday.

It's late January, and the dreary weather is getting old and depressing, we know. Those looking for a little inner-peace boost to make it through can try out the Capital Area District Library's workshop on Isha Kriya Meditation, a fifteen-minute-long technique to find calmness during stressful days. 6-7 p.m. FREE. CADL Foster, 200 N. Foster Ave., Lansing. cadl.org.
