| Description: | True happiness is not about acquiring anything but rather opening to the natural joy and aliveness right inside you. This workshop is based on the popular 10-month Awakening Joy course that thousands have taken since 2003 to develop our natural capacity for well-being and happiness. We will learn basic principles and experiential exercises drawn from Buddhist philosophy along with other supportive practices which will be presented in a user-friendly way. The workshop/daylong will have periods of silent meditation as well as practices for developing gratitude, learning to love yourself, opening up to the hard stuff as a path to joy, and finding joy in the happiness of others will be offered. 'It is that gladness connected with the wholesome that I call an equipment of mind.' -- The Buddha YOU ARE INVITED: We will have a Sangha Social (Party) event the evening before this workshop, Saturday Mar 27, and you are invited!
