Winter-Spring 2012 Programs and Events

Living from the Heart: Courage, Compassion, Consciousness & Creativity

"The last of the human freedoms is to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances"
Victor Frankl

Life as we have known it is in flux due to many factors including the economy and the planet's dwindling resources. How do we thrive with the change around us? We must develop resources when the exterior markers no longer give us direction. It is our responsibility to craft and hone our inner resources of courage, compassion, consciousness and creativity to direct and sustain us. We are living in a "swirling sea" of change so learning to be a good swimmer and floater seems imperative!
