Saturday, March 8th at 3:30 PM we have Bhante Sujatha, a Buddist monk from Woodstock, coming to our studio to give a presentation on Loving-Kindess.

“Inside us is a great power to heal. It is always trying to do its job. We only have to get ourselves out of the way to let it work.”

Connect to your natural healing power with the gentle guidance of Bhante Sujatha in this two-hour workshop and guided meditation.

For more than 25 years Bhante Sujatha has been sharing the message of Loving-Kindness and the practical application of meditation experience with people all over the world. Profound in its simplicity, the message and teachings in this workshop have been life-changing for many of its participants, regardless of religious background. The teaching is centered around the cultivation of self-love. Without a nurtured ability to practice healthy self-love, we cannot be fully present to love anyone or anything else.

Activities in this program will include:
– Lecture: “What Is Loving-Kindness?”
– Instruction in the practice of Loving-Kindness.
– A blessing of healing energy with each individual.
– Guided mindfulness and loving-kindess meditation.
– Time for Questions & Answers.

Benefits of this beautiful workshop can include:
– Reduced stress, anxiety, worry, and depression.
– Healing and enhancing relationships with others.
– Gaining a sense of empowerment over challenging issues in life.
– Insights into life’s purpose.
– Awakening to the blessings of the present moment.
– Confidence in attaining unshakable inner peace.
