Why Life Sucks
Enjoying the Lightness of Being

Saturday, April 18, 2015 12:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Please bring a snack with you to eat as there will be only two short breaks of 5 min. each and we will not be serving food at the event.
 
Overview:
We have all known moments when we experience the full potential for enjoyment and richness in our lives. Yet, in our everyday lives, we seem to be making very little of this profound potential. As the years roll by, the reality of our day to day life becomes far removed from the possibilities for joyous fulfillment that we once glimpsed.  For example, have you noticed how exhausted and drained out many of us are at the end of the day?  Isn't it strange that no matter how much money we make, we are in a condition of perennial scarcity? Isn't it ironic that with increasing levels of material affluence, we are left with progressively less leisure or peace of mind to enjoy our life? This is a seminar that speaks to the heart of these contradictions and enables you to transform your inner reality with the help of techniques and perspectives rarely known to modern industrial civilizations. You will experience a unique four-hour long global voyage which will distill for you and, for your friends and family, breakthrough insights buried in distant places. We will explore the secrets of happiness practiced for centuries by cultures and civilizations around the world. The techniques will help you live each moment with wakefulness and a sense of vitality, experiencing a profound appreciation of life rather than the chronic, restless discontent that usually envelops us.
