By the end of the course you will have practical tools to meet life with a calmer mind, a softer heart, and a clearer sense that you already have everything you need.

The Myth Of Forever Peace: Choosing The Next Moment

Do you feel the pressure to achieve a constant state of calm? Today, we dismantle the myth of "forever peace."

Thank you for these beautiful simple meditations which are not complicated and I can relate to again and again during the day. Reminding me to choose joy, kindness and just breathe when things are very difficult. My body is a bit broken by having part of my tongue and lymph notes cut out and constant challenges since my dear husband died but life renews and my two wee grandchildren remind me of the joy in the simple things all the time . I will listen again as they helped me relax at night and I fell asleep during some of them which was wonderful !

This course is a gift for people who’ve begun to think there is nothing that can done to restore my mind, body or sprint. It is a gentle reminder to pause, to breathe, to be present to the here and now. Without judgment. I found the pace, the stories and analogies helpful in bringing more mindfulness to the days I practice. Thank you for your wise and humble teaching.
