“The pursuit of happiness” is a common bond that unites so many of us — regardless of our economic or social position, regardless of what we’ve acquired along the way, nearly everyone on the planet is actively engaged in finding sustainable happiness.

It’s this mysterious wind that seems to come in, fill us with joy, then leave as unpredictably as it arrived. We search for ways to capture it, to keep it around and within us long term, but inevitably it escapes and we find ourselves searching again.

How can we obtain something we can’t buy or build?

In this 2-hour workshop, Bhante Sujatha teaches that we can’t possess permanent happiness, but we can redefine our understanding of what it is to be happy, and how a simple mindfulness practice can cultivate sustainable peace that will permeate every aspect of our lives.

Mindfulness in everyday life is easy to learn, simple to practice, and an essential element in creating a happy life.

Activities in this program will include:

• Lecture: “Mindfulness for Everyday Life.”
• Instruction in the practice of meditation.
• Guided mindfulness and loving-kindness meditation.
• Time for Questions & Answers.

Benefits of this beautiful workshop can include:

• Reduced stress, anxiety, worry, and depression.
• Healing and enhancing relationships with others.
• Gaining a sense of empowerment over challenging issues in life.
• Insights into life’s purpose.
• Awakening to the blessings of the present moment.
• Confidence in attaining unshakable inner peace.
