Re-Create your life with the Science of Compassion
Tuesday, April 13 - 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. at the Psy-Santé clinic
In this lecture, based on Gregg Braden's popular work "Walking between the
Worlds", we will learn
what it means to embody the state of being of Compassion in order to reprogram our cells and
DNA. The act of blessing all situations and memories in our lives as sacred events can help us to
transform and neutralize
negative emotions in our energy fields.
During the lecture, we will show clips of Gregg Braden's DVD "Walking between the
Worlds" and the
"Science of Miracles" as well as some clips of Dr. Hew Len's Ho' Oponopono whose technique
follows the same theme, blessing and receiving all with compassion cleans and resolves all issues
we may have. As we accept
responsibility for our lives by choosing our responses and thoughts to all situations, we stop resisting
and start resolving, and bringing true inner peace into our lives.
We will end the lecture with a short question and discussion period.
Tuesday, April 13th: 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Cost: $15
Facilitated by: Nancy Fuoco and Larry Crevier

New program with Dr Warren and Debra Leibovitch
The A.R.T. of Living Mindfully with Stress and Anxiety
"Mindfulness is a state of awareness, a place of understanding and openness, in which to learn to live well in the face of challenge and uncertainty".
This 8-week group program offers a unique learning experience bringing
together
mindfulness-based approaches in cognitive-behavioral therapies for treatment of anxiety and
mindfulness practice in yoga and meditation.
This holistic program speaks to the overall
well-being of each person in mind, body and spirit. The goal is to develop the knowledge and
skills to cope successfully with feelings of fear, excessive worrying, generalized anxiety and panic.
Living mindfully becomes a way of relating to the changing currents in our lives as we encounter
important life events and periods of personal change.
These 8 sessions are designed to build
self-awareness and understanding of mindfulness in practice as well as promoting personal
change and growth. Group members are taught how to use their own inner resources to relieve
stress and to manage body and mind more effectively.
The groups are led by Dr. Warren Zackon, a clinical psychologist and psychotherapist, and Debra Leibovitch, an experienced practitioner, whose teaching incorporates the physical and spiritual aspects of yoga and meditation in promoting health and wellness.
Upcoming spring sessions begin April 26th, Monday evenings between 7:00 and 8:30 pm.
