There is human desire to find happiness and joy. Most of us have asked ourselves in some shape or form the question of, “am I really happy?”. While we may experience some happiness, life’s circumstances sometimes blankets this capacity to connect to our inner joy. We then watch as our spark slips away.
Join us in this one-day Online event to nurture and spark the joy that is inherit within us all.
