Lonely But Not Alone: Half-Day Meditation Course

Half-Day Meditation Course Saturday October 26 | 10:30am-1:00pm

We often feel as if we are isolated individuals and suffer from loneliness, even when we are not alone. Longing to feel a sense of connection to others but instead sometimes feeling disconnected and separate from others. During this course through talks and practical meditations we’ll discover how this perception of ourselves as separate from others is an illusion, for in truth we are all naturally and profoundly interconnected.

The Peace of Patience: Brevard, NC

Half-Day Meditation Course Saturday November 9| 10:30am-12:30pm

There are many things in life that we just don’t like and would rather avoid, There are  difficult people, disappointments and loss, or a life that looks and feels quite differently then how we had hoped, imagined, or planned. When we meet with ‘unwanted’ circumstances resignation or anger can easily set in and we experience a type of ‘inner resistance’ that can feel as if we are going through our life with the emergency brake on.
