The General Program takes place Tuesday evenings in Collingwood and Thursday evenings in Barrie. The current theme is “Think Better, Feel Better” and this week, Kelsang Rigma is talking about “How our Thoughts Shape our World”. If you missed the Collingwood class, join us in Barrie to finally learn how to apply the nursery rhyme “Row, Row, Row Your Boat, Life is but a Dream”. The second meditation of the night will be an excellent, relaxing Meditation on the Root Mind.
