The Art of Transforming Suffering
Based on Thich Nhat Hanh’s work, “No Mud, No Lotus”, we’ll be practicing mindful meditation, walking meditation, art (absolutely no experience necessary). We will include deep listening and speaking from the heart to explore the nutrients in our “mud” and how to transform them into “lotus flowers”! Perfect timing for mud season!
Looking forward to seeing you and bring your mud boots!

Being With Loss During the Holidays

Holidays can be particularly difficult so this is a way to support each other and celebrate the beauty of those whom we miss. Online; Fee $40.00/group or $150 if paid in full. The group will meet the 1st 4 Tuesday evenings in November. It will be a closed group of 8 people for the 4 sessions. For more information and to register: eileen@greeningofthesoul.com
