One of the great blessings of meditation and spiritual practice is that the practices draw on our ever-present inner resources and strengths . . . qualities of consciousness that are always available – no matter what happens to our bodies – or in the external world. This workshop offers an opportunity to experience deep peace and tranquility – and new perspectives on navigating the unpredictable change that is always a characteristic of our life on Earth. Sometimes we approach our spiritual practices with the hope that they will bring forth Heaven on Earth. In other moments – when living in these bodies and in this world seems difficult – the benefits of meditation and spiritual practice can be even more powerful. In those times, our practices help to remind us of the limitless resourcefulness we all possess – just by virtue of being born . . . and the fact that happiness is our birthright. In this often emotionally-challenging time, this workshop will offer relief . . . and tune us to the Light of Inspiration.

“Ramananda John E. Welshons is incredible! He is a WONDERFUL teacher!”
~ Ram Dass
