Workshops
Anger Management
Saturday, February 28, 2015 10:00am - 1:00pm
This workshop explores anger and its expressions, moving from textbook definitions of anger to the more spiritual realm, in which, first and foremost, I accept that no one can make me angry, but I allow myself to become angry -- therefore, I am responsible for my own anger. Through introspective exercises and small-group discussions, participants will practice looking at anger through a spiritual lens, with the goal of transforming anger into good wishes and productive feelings.
All are welcome!
For more information please call 212-564-4335

"You can never literally 'fall in love' as you are already and always will be 'in' love, because you are always and already 'in' your self. Love and the authentic self are one and the same"

Book of the Month
The 7 Myths about Love...Actually!
by Mike George
In what is NOT another ‘relationship manual’, nor a guide on how to be a ‘better lover’, the author takes us on a journey to the highest territory of the human spirit as he clearly reveals in very down to Earth language:
How to find ‘real love’ in life
How to bring the light and power of love into all your relationships
Why you are not aware that your heart has been broken, blocked, frozen and poisoned!
Why happiness is impossible until you know the ‘truth about love’
How to eliminate the one and only barrier to the discovery of love
The secrets of how to ‘feel’ love anywhere anytime
Why, in truth, you can never ‘fall’ in love
