Fall in Love with Life Again

Afternoon Workshop

Sunday 1:00 to 5:00 pm

Get up, go to work, go home, go to bed… When we get caught up in the daily grind, living life on repeat, all too often life starts to feel like a never-ending chore, a life more ordinary.

This February, why not fall in love with your life, all over again. Be in love with life and you’ll:

• Wake up every morning, feeling happy and inspired
• Do everything with love and turn ordinary into extraordinary
• Take charge and recharge your life, and live more fully and fearlessly

But not everything about life is lovable, is it? And what about life; does life love you?

If you’re ready to fall madly in love with your life, join us to learn and understand how.

Thoughts on Courage and Vulnerability ~ Tuesday evening at Anubhuti

Tuesday 7:00 - 9:00 pm

Why courage? With courage, there are always possibilities. Courage is about listening to one’s heart. It is the willingness to act beyond our limits; to not be ruled by our fear; to commit to life. It is a strength that comes from the core of our being; the strength to say “I can” and that it is possible. In meditation, we can strengthen our hearts and also begin to let go of the shields that we have created – to let go without judgment. We can cultivate a brave, awake and transparent heart; one full of good feelings and truth. This makes us feel stronger and more whole. Come and learn more about courage and vulnerability.

Karmic Connection ~ Tuesday evening at Anubhuti

Tuesday 7:00 - 8:30 pm

As there are laws by which nature is governed, so there are also equivalent spiritual laws. Newton’s third law of motion of reciprocal actions says: For every force there is an equal, but opposite, force. The Law of Karma says: Whatever I give out is what will come back to me. These universal laws cannot be fooled… good karma will follow you like a shadow and negative karma will come to be settled. It comes to settle its account and then it is finished. Learn how you can take benefit by understanding these natural laws.

Moving Beyond Anger ~ Tuesday evening at Anubhuti

Tuesday 7:00 - 8:30 pm

We say, ‘Don’t get mad!’ to each other, and yet when we do become ‘mad’, our hearts are inevitably hurt, and then later comes the regret. Every time we express anger it tightens its grip on us, as anything we do repeatedly gets hard-wired within us. However, this also gives us the answer as to how to re-wire.

We can re-wire by choosing to create a new pattern of behavior, the old habit then dissolves through lack of use. Come and learn more how to keep it cool.

How to Handle Difficult People

Afternoon Workshop

Sunday 1:00 to 5:00 pm

Sometimes people cry, feel embarrassed, or get defensive in conversations. If the mind is angry or hurt, we must listen, understand its needs, answer it and heal it. Distracting the mind elsewhere aggravates our emotional wounds. We need to replace anger with assertion. Assertiveness means stability inside and focuses on the act, not on the person who made a mistake.  

We will Explore:

• Through meditation we will quieten the mind, gain greater focus, and access inner stillness to become more stable
• Group sharing and discussions to learn about different methods  and broaden our skills in dealing with different types of people
• Gentle movement and walking in nature

Facilitator: Vaishali Jogi, MComm in management, professional account manager. Spirituality and the joy of sharing goodness have always been Vaishali’s passion.
