LOVING IT ALL - A WEEKEND
PLAYSHOP
Nashville, Tennessee
December 5, 6 & 7, 2008
The path to freedom from suffering involves the point of view we
develop about events and circumstances, as well as what we create for
ourselves in our lives. Our relationships with others, with a higher power,
and mostly with ourselves immediately reflect to us where we are and are not
loving, and where we are suffering. In this weekend “playshop”, we will draw
from varied spiritual traditions, with an emphasis on Toltec philosophy. We
will learn dynamic tools to get to the inner loving beings that we really
are, discovering that we really can love it all.
