Making Happiness Happen | 7 – 8.15pm | March 4th, 11th, 18th & 25th | with Richard Hoyle
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. Therefore, we can make a choice to be happy in our life by training in meditation.
This four-week course will provide advice and encouragement on how to develop inner peace and integrate the practice of meditation into our daily lives.
