I hope you’re having a great October! I wanted to mention a few of the things you might be interested in, taking place in the near future: Beginning October 29 (running for 3 consecutive Wednesdays): The Art of Being Human: Living with more Joy, Ease, and Meaning—3 week course ($57).In this three week course we’ll look
This poem was written by Sue Pettit and can be found in her beautiful little book of poetry called Coming Home. It is a perfect illustration of the simple truth that the only thing we’re ever experiencing is our own state of mind. I’d been hunting for a house all day and nothing seemed quite right.And then I
People really don’t like to be confused.It feels so powerless…there’s a choice to be made, a decision at hand, and we’re unsure what to do.
