Conscious Living- Saturday Meditation Class
Healing Our Environment and Our World
All the problems of human society such as war, crime, pollution, drug addiction, and poverty are the result of self-centered states of mind. Although these tendencies cause so many problems and are often encouraged in our culture, they are not part of our true nature. By recognizing and reducing these tendencies in our own heart we definitely change ourself and the world we experience. Everybody is welcome to come to these classes. Cost is $15/ class or $80 for 6 part series.
