The Adult Winter Wellness series is an ideal opportunity for the community to come together for soul-nourishing connections at the dawn of the new year. Embracing themes of new beginnings, self-care, and overall health and wellness, the classes offer a diverse range of experiences. From expressive arts activities that ignite a creative flow to gentle mind-body practices like yoga and sound healing that warm both the body and spirit. Facilitated by a rotation of guest artists and wellness practitioners from the local area, these classes offer a holistic approach to well-being.
Build authentic optimism. Pessimism drains energy and makes it impossible to change. A fake optimism would be pretending everything is positive when it's not. Authentic, true optimism comes from understanding what we can change and making an effort to do so.
If we want peace in the world, we need peace in our communities. If we want peace in our communities, we need peace in our own minds. Through practicing meditation, we build wise optimism based on our capacity to change our minds and find peace from within. This, then, contributes to peaceful interactions and relationships. And this, eventually, will lead to a peaceful world.
In this talk, we will see how to use meditation to tap into this happy, peaceful feeling and how to use it to uplift the mind to an encouraged hopeful, energized place. Everyone is welcome!
