Class with the Minister: The Practice of Centering: Simple Pathways for Enriching Your Life
Dates: Wednesdays, January 21, 28, February 4
Time: 12:00 – 1:15 pm
Format: Multiplatform
Physical Location: Fellowship Hall
Registration encouraged
Facilitator: Rev. Daniel Trollinger
Life is full of situations that pull us off center. What helps you to connect and center? There are practical exercises that can enable us to respond and reset in the face of everything going on in the world. The capacity to self-regulate, in a healthy way, is one of the most important life skills we can learn. In this three-week class we will engage practices to activate our inner compass, the part within our being that guides us to a place of greater knowing, greater giving, and greater peace. This is a continuation and expansion of the class offered in the fall.
