Respect for Others Brings Peace & Harmony
The Christmas season is that time of year when we especially cherish peace and goodwill. Peace in the world, in our communities, in our relationships and in our hearts. Great spiritual teachers tell us that the peace we long for is based upon developing the qualities of respect and tolerance. Cultivating these spiritual qualities mean that more than just being a time or a season, Christmas becomes a state of mind and heart.
Christmas is almost upon us and along with the fun and festivities, come the stresses and tensions of trying to squeeze everything in before the end of the year. It’s almost as if we have to squeeze two months into one.
We are getting in early and sharing some of our huge event line up with you for next year. You might want to slot some into your calendar so you don't double book!
