2-day weekend

• Sep 10 – 12

Based on the book How to Be Happy All the Time, by Paramhansa Yogananda

We are all seeking happiness and we all can find it, because happiness is part of our own divine nature. The secret is looking for it in the right place.

In this unique 2-day program, we’ll use the book How to Be Happy All the Time as a study reference. You will receive your own copy of the book to read throughout the class.

This profound little book is potent: it can change your life forever. You’ll discover that happiness can be found within yourself. Given a few basic tools to practice, you can begin to choose to be happy on a regular basis.

You’ll learn:

• A technique of meditation as a springboard for finding inner happiness
• Why searching for happiness outside yourself simply doesn’t work as a long-term strategy
• How to practice being happy right now
• How to bring greater happiness into your relationships with others
• How to avoid the “happiness thieves.”

This program will be led by Anandi Cornell, who compiled the information for the book How to Be Happy All the Time from the original writings of Paramhansa Yogananda.

What Others Are Saying:

"The most important condition for happiness is even-mindedness, and here the author of Autobiography of a Yogi brings some of this sense to a treatise on how to be happy under virtually any condition. From identifying habits, thoughts, and practices which steal from happiness to understanding simplicity is the key and sharing happiness with others, How to Be Happy All The Time: The Wisdom of Yogananda, Volume 1 is a fine starting point for reaching contentment."
