You are warmly invited
to a series of teachings that will offer your Mind, Body, and Emotions a unified pathway to fall in love with the natural
world. Falling in love is universal and provides us a conscious path to awaken and experience our fullest potential. All human
beings have the capacity to be in love with it all, and in this series, it is your connection with the Beauty of the Earth
that offers you a pathway home. Beauty becomes your guide and teacher, inwardly and outwardly, so that you may fall more deeply
in love with the Earth that you are. It is a sitting practice, and we will be practicing it Sunday mornings and Wednesday
evenings in a beautiful sanctuary on the East Side of Providence, RI.
A background
in some type of sitting practice, such as meditation, contemplation, prayer, or yoga, is requested so that you may fully receive
this teaching and have a foundation from which it can be sustained and maintained. A commitment to a set of three classes
is requested since each is part of a unified whole.
The contribution for this workshop
is $90. Please note this workshop is being offered in natural order, and all are welcome to receive it unconditionally. In
turn, please determine the value of what you are receiving, your personal capacity to give freely and joyfully, and contribute
the amount that is right for you. Thank you.
Please call me at (617) 901-5580 to
register and to discuss your place in this upcoming workshop.
May you find great
peace and happiness in your journey home,
