Coping, Thriving and Soaring
Session Description
We live in demanding times…where there never seems to be enough time. Our focus is consistently facing outward. Rarely do we take the time to look inward. When our negative emotions such as fury, jealousy and pride take center stage, how can we find inner peace? In contrast, the “Mindfulness Revolution” is spreading like wildfire. What are its core elements and how can you engage? What is inner peace? How can you find it?
