As the calendar moves to September, we begin once again to experience a shift in seasons and all attendant to that: school starting, vacations ending, weather changing, foliage fading. A tangible example of impermanence, a constant in our daily life.
Our neurobiology and our wish that things not change greet this shift with resistance and reluctance. Because impermanence is woven into the fabric of our lives, what might we gain by befriending it?
Frank Ostaseski, author of The Five Invitations, says: Being comfortable with change is the key to living your happiest life. In this mindful Meet Up, we’ll explore how befriending impermanence can contribute to our growth and wisdom, increasing the richness of our lives. Using mindfulness practices, discussion and journaling, we’ll discover the possibilities and value of impermanence.
