PLANETARY LOVE
How To Adapt To a Time of Crisis
Saturday, February 8th, 10-5:30 (Lunch Included)
Center for Transformational Practice, 149 Latham Works Lane, WRJ, VT

Jim Merkel will lead participants through a journey of radical simplification and give to each the tools they need to make conscious choices about how much of this world to consume and how much to leave for other species and future generations. Part financial seminar, part meditation retreat, this workshop will also give participants practical insights about how to organize their lives so as to be free and available to serve the planet, while living in alignment with their spiritual values. Participants will learn that though the journey to a balanced life is long, it is also the most joyful way we can go.   $40 in advance or $50 at door (Optional Dinner $15 extra with reservation only)
