Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself: A Meditation Workshop

6:30-8:30 p.m. Downtown Brevard, NC 

This workshop is for men/women of all ages and life stages.

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:

  • How to cultivate inner stillness and peace and release anxiety and worry
  • Why meditation is one of the most powerful tools for “coming home” to yourself
  • Brain-based practices for calming the body and feeling more free and joyful
  • Self-care practices designed to help you ground, center and “come home” to yourself
  • How to cultivate self-compassion and self-acceptance for exactly where you are
  • Ways to relax and reconnect with your needs, desires, and your body’s natural rhythms
  • Practices for spiritual renewal to nurture and fortify your soul

Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself

Enjoy authentic connection with other men/women as you embrace new ways of being and experience greater clarity and focus about your next steps.
