Meditation Class in Venice

Living Meaningfully Dying Joyfully

Time
Wednesdays 7:00 - 8:15 pm

Class Description
At any and every stage of our life we have limitless potential to live in a meaningful and purposeful way.

In this series we will:

• discover what is most important and bring meaning to our life.
• how to make daily life activities part of our spiritual practice, 
• and develop an awareness of our own mortality to prepare to die joyfully and peacefully.

Through these practices we will gain an inner strength to face aging, sickness and death with dignity and grace.
The class consists of a guided meditation, a short talk and an opportunity for questions and answers. Each talk is part of a series, yet is self-contained. This means that you can drop in at any time.

at Venice Holistic Center
