Workshop offers renewal
The “Power of the Beautiful State Course,” centered on teachings from EKAM, the World Center for Enlightenment in South India, will be presented on Saturday and Sunday, Sept 2-3, at Lewis Hall, 23905 Vashon Hwy SW. Attendees will look deeply inside themselves to examine their relationships with others and learn how disconnection from their own emotions feeds into challenging reactions from others. The goal of the workshop is to liberate attendees from suffering through wisdom, meditation and processes, enabling all to flow back into their lives renewed and reconnected.
