How to Stop Fighting Yourself: The Magic of Acceptance
March 3 - March 24 · Tuesdays · 6-7:15pm
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.

Craving, Addiction, and Contentment
March 31 - April 21 · Tuesdays · 6-7:15pm
The search for stimulation and excitement can be frustrating and tiring. It leaves us feeling like we never have enough — searching for ever more complicated, expensive, and even dangerous solutions to dispel our discontent. We can develop cravings and addictions that disrupt our life, relationships and well-being.
The answer to this problem isn’t to stop having fun or reject what we enjoy. Instead, we can learn how to be deeply satisfied with who we are, what we have, and where we are in life. The art of contentment involves letting go of unrealistic expectations, practicing kindness towards ourselves, and learning to find happiness within.
