Don’t Postpone Your Joy: How to Live in the Moment
January 6 – February 17
Don’t postpone your joy. Real confidence comes from learning to live in the present. On the other hand, our self-esteem is obliterated when we sit around waiting to be happy until ‘everything is just right’. Our emotions become a rollercoaster dictated by things we can minimally or cannot at all control.
As we learn the inner science of training the mind, we discover the happiness, peace and meaning we were looking for was always found within, right here. This makes us profoundly confident and strong, which gives us strength to help ourselves and others. Everyone welcome!

How to Stop Fighting Yourself: The Magic of Acceptance
March 3 - March 24
Embrace your inner world and stop fighting yourself. When we experience inner turmoil, it's easy to attack ourselves and become our own enemy. The magical practice of acceptance allows us to be at peace with our inner world. This does not make us complacent. Instead, it allows us to take stock of what is really happening within, stay kind to ourselves, and then enact gentle, positive change.
We will look at specific meditative techniques that allow ourselves to build this self-acceptance and create an honest, authentic relationship with our own mind so we can live the life we really want.
March 3- Stop Resisting, Start Healing
March 10- Becoming Kind To Ourselves
March 17- Self-Honesty and Overcoming Perfectionism
March 24- Gentle, Intentional Change
