Appointment with Life

The course centers on developing our ability to enjoy calm and ease in life, and to live fully in every moment. This ability is developed by cultivating mindfulness – a non-judgmental moment-to-moment awareness of what is going on in our body and mind and in the world around us, by tuning into our breath and to every other aspect of our life. Staying in touch with ourselves and life in this intimate way, we begin to gain clarity, to feel less stuck and to discover more options and possibilities in life….
