£20.00 – £25.00
Each and everyone of us possess a mind with infinite capacity for positivity, love and compassion. This is who we really are. Instead of recognising our real self we often relate to the negativity in our mind. We mistakenly believe that our limiting thoughts are an intrinsic part of our identity. The good news is they aren’t. In this half day course we will learn how to connect directly with our good heart, and in doing so unlock our full potential for happiness and spiritual development.
Everybody is welcome.
Kensington £25 | Morden £20
