Finding Security in an Uncertain World
Not scheduled at this time.
Would you like to develop a deeper sense of security within yourself—not dependent on any outward circumstance? Security is a state of mind, which can only be found within yourself. Learning to develop that inner confidence is the focus of this weekend.
During this weekend you will be guided in how to tune in to the heart, the center of all feeling. By deepening the experience of love and faith in the heart, we can cast out fear. The heart is also the seat of intuition, or quiet inner knowing. Through class discussion and guided experiences, you can discover a connection with the Divine within you. As you tune in to that loving presence within, you’ll feel more faith, which is the source of true security.
