SUMMARY:In Person and in Nature- Enhancing Positive Qualities with Anne Porteous
DESCRIPTION:Why Join this Workshop?\nThe pursuit of enhanced well-being has become a cornerstone of modern life\, as individuals seek to balance the demands of daily routines with emotional and mental health. \nFocusing on positive qualities and spending time in nature are both powerful strategies that contribute significantly to improved well-being. These practices offer profound benefits\, including enhanced mood\, reduced stress\, and heightened focus\, making them essential components of a balanced life. \nThere is a transformation when we give ourselves permission to slow down. We step closer to a life infused with meaning and grace\, a life that reminds us that sometimes\, the greatest strength lies in simply slowing down. \nWorkshop overview\nThese sessions offer a supportive space to reconnect with yourself. Guided by Anne and set in the peaceful surroundings of Sierra Acres\, the group will explore mindfulness meditation and the 16 Guidelines\, practices designed to deepen well-being and inner peace. \nSchedule\nThursdays: October 8th – November 19th | 16:00 – 17:00 (ET) \nRates\n1 session : $20 \n3 sessions: $50 – \n7 sessions: $100 \nRegistration\nTo register or for more info\, please contact Anne Porteous at eanneporteous@gmail.com \nFacilitator\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nAnne Porteous: \nAnne lives in Ontario\, Canada.
