About the Event:

Be fully present to what is present, and integrate past and future into this moment - Kabbalah Experience Awareness Practice

Impermanence is a principle of harmony. When we don’t struggle against it we are in harmony with reality - Pema Chodron

These constantly changing times can be disorienting. How might we embrace grounding practices for a mindful approach to living in the present moment? Using this powerful transformative kabbalah awareness practice, we will explore how we integrate past and present so we can live more fully in the present moment.
