***UPDATE – SADLY CLIVE HAS HAD TO CANCEL THIS WEEKEND LAST MINUTE AS HE HAS LOST HIS VOICE. WISHING HIM A SPEEDY RECOVERY AND HOPING TO SEE HIM AGAIN SOON***

One of the most simple and effective ways of changing our lives for the better is to develop not just an attitude but also a practise of gratitude. Attitude is more important than events, than circumstances, than what other people think or say or do. There are numerous health benefits to having a grateful attitude. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. But few of us exercise the muscle of this choice and consequently are blown about like feathers in the wind. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is take charge of our Attitudes. Every moment is an opportunity to wake up from our negativities, assumptions, prejudices and habits.

Gratitude can be fun too. Not some “heavy duty” thing to add to our to-do list. The heart of the course weekend will consist of practical and simple exercises we can do to develop gratitude in daily life. There will also be instructions in meditations on awakening joy and inner peace of mind.

Friday 27th September 7.30pm – 9pm Introductory Session

Saturday 28th September 11am – 4.30pm

Sunday 29th September 11am – 4pm

€10 evening session, €35 per day (includes simple vegetarian lunch)
