No time. Busyness. Stress. Anxiety. They’re unwelcome guests, yet often, we feel powerless to kick them out. Yet we’re not.
Remember the delicious sense of spaciousness you had as a child? Remember the expansive feeling of being on vacation, with wide open days stretching out before you with nothing to do but what pleased you?
That sense of spaciousness is your birthright. And tonight, author and leadership trainer Jalaja Bonheim will show you how to reclaim it. Spaciousness boosts our physical health, encourages a sense of inner peace, and allows us to access our true intelligence.
