Be Happy Now, Not Later

It is all well and good to hear and read wonderfully inspiring explanations of how to find authentic meaning in our life. We love that. But what then? All too often, the “realities” of our day-to-day existence pull us right back to our habitual ways of dealing with the world and our place in it. In other words, we get nowhere fast.
Stop. Enough. Yesterday’s future has arrived and yet we are still operating in the same old ways. In this half-day course, we will tackle this dilemma, discussing practical, tactical steps you can take this very instant, using Buddhist wisdom and insights to remake your future right now.
Be Happy Now
