Manifesting Your Best Self

Who do you wish to be next year? A calmer, more relaxed you? Less anxious and fearful? Maybe more patient or kinder? Someone that brings solutions to the table? How about simply a happier person?

Meditation and Buddhist teachings give us a clear methodology – inner technology – for bringing about authentic and lasting change. Learning about these clear steps, known as the Four Powers of Joyful Effort, gives us great confidence in our ability to bring about that change.

We'll explore how to practically apply these powers in daily life and experience real joy as we grow spiritually. We can become the person we long to be and know that we "spent" 2025 in the most meaningful way.
