Letting Go of Expectations Half-Day Course
Saturday October 25| 10:30am - 1pm
When reality does not match up to what we hoped would happen it is easy for disappointment to set in. Our own and others unrealistic expectations can set us up for anger, and discouragement, chip away at our relationships and set us up for a sense of failure and chronic discontent. When we begin to let go of expectations, we are also letting go of perfectionism, and our attachment to things having to be a certain way.
In this course we will see how we can live life unburdened by our own and others expectations and begin to experience for ourself the inner freedom this can bring.
Everybody Welcome. Includes guided meditation, talks and time for Q&A
