Just like gravity, the law of impermanence is a scientifically proven fact of life. Although we desire every moment of life to be pleasant, in truth we have all known painful emotions: sadness, longing, and for the fortunate ones, advancing age. Experiencing these conditions with a brave heart as they occur, we can move through them and come out the other side, ultimately living life fully in the flow and present to our every moment. To be guided by both her life experience and in meditation, join Lennie in person or on Zoom.
