We shower everyday, but do you “cleanse” and “purify” your mind everyday?
We eat everyday, but do you feed your mind with “spiritual food” everyday?
Do you know how important and how beneficial it is to have daily Spiritual Practice and Homework?
In this session, we will be sharing the above and support you to have your own “customized” and “tailor-made” daily Spiritual Practice, that you will truly benefit from.
We look forward to your loving presence.
Please wear comfortable clothing as we will be seated on the floor.
