Online: Coming Home to Joy – A Four Week Course For Women
Teacher: Wildecy de Fátima Jury assisted by Practice Leader Charlene Cambridge
Tuesdays, April 4th – 25th, 2023 | 7:00pm – 9:00pm ET
A Spring renewal and regeneration for women to reclaim all kinds of joy in the heart, body, and mind.
The last few years many of us have gotten used to living with loneliness, isolation, grief and brain fog. Some of us have forgotten or neglected our creativity and stopped believing in our own joy – or sukha (happiness, pleasure, ease, and bliss).
All of us already have positive seeds of joy inside of us, but sometimes these seeds need encouragement to germinate.
There are many ways to help them to grow and blossom naturally. In this course with New York Insight Teacher Wildecy de Fátima Jury and Practice Leader Charlene Cambridge, we will explore different ways to recognize, welcome and touch the joy that is waiting to be expressed.
In four classes of dharma, contemplation, guided meditation, chanting, movement, group sharing, writing, and other creative practices, we will be inspired to come home to our joy and the medicine of dharma.
