Pat Coffey shares that every spiritual path worth it's salt has elements of practice. Real transformation requires this. There is no end-run around practicing. In a real sense, any skill you have learned..... you have earned.

As humans, we are naturally inclined to move away from anything challenging and toward pleasure. That is how we roll. Given that, establishing a transformative spiritual practice is significantly supported by finding ways to bring elements of pleasantness into practice.

This evening we will look at various ways to bring Joy and pleasant means into your practice such that it moves formal practice from being another improvement project to a 'looked-forward-to' time of your day that is restorative, calming and joyful.
