with Caverly Morgan
We are deeply conditioned to attempt to control life. We are habituated to try to manage others and ourselves. Our striving never leads to peace, however, and we are often left feeling isolated, overwhelmed, depressed. With Awareness Practice we learn to trust life. In doing so, we are freed from our perceived need to effort our way through existence. Our experience of interconnection deepens, and we learn to recognize the love that’s here when we stop doing everything else. Join us as we delve more deeply into this topic and practice trusting life, together.
No experience required. All are welcome.
