Meditate on Monday
“Unplug and disconnect” during free session offered at beach resort.
Pam Butler wants to help others find inner peace.
The Fort Lauderdale resident found healing through meditation after months of suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder froma neardeath childbirth and the death of her father five days later. Now, the Chopra-certified meditation instructor wants to help others at a free “Mindful Monday Sundown Meditation” at Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort.
“Comewith an open mind and an open heart,” Butler says. “It’s more just really taking the time to unplug and disconnect fromour busy days. I teach very simple, very easy, comfortable breathing techniques and tools that people can implement throughout the day.”
Butler says no prior experience is needed at this all-ages event.
The guided meditation will take place at BalQony, the Hilton’s fourth floor terrace.
“[We are] constantly seeking new and innovative ways to implement [wellness] initiatives here,” says John Allan, general manager, Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort. “Pam shares in our vision
and commitment to encouraging others to lead healthier, more balanced lifestyles. We are excited to partner with her to host this unique pop-up meditation at our resort.”
Beverages will be available for purchase after the sunset meditation. The Banana Ginger Smoothie is supposed to promote good digestion and toxin removal, while the Indulge World’s Best Smoothie with nonfat yogurt, banana, orange juice, strawberries and elderflower liqueur should promote good mood and spirits. Two cocktails will also be available: A Berry Sangria for rejuvenation and the Tito’s Sweet Green Tea to help lower blood pressure. Each drink is $10.
Bitsy Bottom, an activewear line based out of Delray Beach, will showcase
its fall clothing line while guests relish their refreshments. Proceeds fromthe pop-up’s sales will benefit Broward’s Children Center, a nonprofit in Pompano Beach helping infants through young adults with health care needs.
“Hopefully, people will stay after to enjoy that sense of community and have conversations with like-minded people,” Butler says.
