Making Happiness Happen | 7.30 – 8.45pm | March 5th, 12th, 19th & 26th | with Nigel Woolsey
Everyone wants to be happy, but we don’t always understand it is a choice we can make. Happiness is a state of mind, and like any positive state of mind we can learn how it can be strengthened through the practice of meditation.
