Cultivating Heart-centered Relationships in Greater Harmony with Life

Join us for a 30-day opportunity to unplug from routine demands and bring a daily dose of enrichment and enchantment to your life!

Each day, you will be presented with enjoyable and life-enhancing intermissions from the daily grind.

We tend to live primarily in our mind, fretting about the past, worrying about the future. You know the monkey mind that chatters away incessantly or the butterfly mind that continually flies from one thought to another. The mind in such states perpetuates rushing about from one activity to the next without taking a moment to stop, breathe, and enjoy the present moment. And, when we are in the present moment, we are often thinking and doing in habitual patterns. There is certainly nothing wrong with the mind; the problem is that we tend to focus on the mind at the expense of the heart.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to bring more sparkle to life? Wouldn’t you enjoy living more fully and relating to yourself and others in more balanced and dynamic ways? This course will support you in doing so by helping you to:

Slow down and tap into a vast reservoir of inner resources
Bring more heart and soul to your relationships and creations
Explore and develop your senses and increase your perception
Enhance your connection with members of the natural world
Expand your capacity to be in the present moment

Increase your appreciation and gratitude for life

“And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.” ~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

Taking a class from Joan is always an enjoyable educational experience. I have found that if she is offering any type of class you can be assured that she is very well educated on whatever subject she is presenting. Her information is organized, well presented, easy to understand, and she has a pleasant low-key way of teaching. I have always felt inspired and relaxed after her teachings. I find it wonderful to be able to apply so many of her teachings to my everyday life.
