Meditation Workshop- Meditation: Tools for Awakening Courage, Faith and Compassion
This workshop focuses on the practical tools that help us go beyond our constricting habitual patterns, such as fear and denial. Awakening the inner capacities we all have, meditation allows us to transform our worldview from one of isolation and confusion to one of connection, clarity and compassion.
Especially in times of uncertainty, meditation opens us to the power of faith and courage based on seeing things just as they are.
This workshop is suitable for both new and experienced students. The workshop will consist of guided meditations, talks and time for questions and answers.
