Ansel Braidman
12.29.24 | 4:00 pm – 5:30 pm | In Person and Online

In order to experience a greater sense of peace, love and compassion in our lives, it is important to cultivate a greater sense of subtle awareness in the ever-unfolding nature of our reality and experience. We will explore how to develop intimacy with this awareness and it’s subtlety through the power of silence and meditation. Silence has a tremendous ability to heal our minds and bodies by allowing us to be in our natural state which is free of superimposition. Through this we can find more energy to be our fully authentic selves and extend a greater sense of care and compassion to ourselves and our community. Ansel will provide both theory and practical application learned from his own lived experience.
