Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself: A Meditation Workshop
6:30-8:30 p.m. Downtown Brevard, NC
We have 60,000 thoughts a day and 90% of them are the same thought! Are you ready to feel more free, alive and open? Are you willing to have new thoughts?
Are you open to new ways of seeing … and being? Based on some of the key principles from the best-selling book “Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself,” by neuroscientist and meditation teacher Dr. Joe Dispenza, we’ll explore:
Enjoy authentic connection with other men/women as you embrace new ways of being and experience greater clarity and focus about your next steps.
We’ll meet in a private home in downtown Brevard, NC from 6:30-8:30 p.m.
Bring a cushion and a blanket, a water bottle, a journal and a pen (eat dinner before). There is the option to sit in a chair or on the floor in a floor seat. Happy to accomadate all bodies!
Trust me. I have 30 years experience in creating transformational experiences and teaching meditation and mindfulness. I like to find just the right balance of being/doing. You’ll experience joyful connection, authentic community, laughter/inspiration, solo time, meditation, guided exercises/journaling and more. Expect to feel restored, renewed and joyful.
Introductory rate of $49 for the workshop. This program is an introduction to a September-December fall meditation group I’ll be offering (6 sessions).
