DEEPENING PRACTICAL MEDITATION: How to Thrive Through Life's Changes with former Tibetan Buddhist nun, Dekyi-Lee Oldershaw and Shelley Urlando, developer of MindBlast

Each Thursday this summer from July 5 to 26 and August 2 to 23

Time: 7 to 8:30 pm

Location: Holy Cross Lutheran Church, 3455 Lakeshore Rd. Burlington, ON

If everything is changing, anything is possible. Can you let change work for you rather than resist it?

This is a wonderful way to discover gentle methods that will help you find pliability, peace and wisdom with changes that are happening around you and also internally - with your health, life direction and relationships. Understanding change and learning to dance with it leads to less stress, healing and skillful decisions.

Cost: $60 for any four evenings over these two months (or if you are home this summer, save and sign up for all eight sessions for $105)

Advance registration is required by June 28, 2012. To register, please state which four evenings you will be attending and email Katie Keenleyside at centreforcompassionandwisdom@cogeco.ca or phone 905 296-3728 and leave a voicemail.
