Building Inner Strength Level: Two
With Wendy Ridley: 26th – 28th November
In this Building Inner Strength: 16 Guidelines Level 2 you will continue your exploration of the seven 16G tools for a more fulfilled life. You will go deeper into the values which encourage positive qualities, resilience and help you to transform how you think, act, relate to others and find meaning.
Level 2 expands your exploration of the Guidelines, introducing their shadow side. There is an emphasis on motivation, loving kindness meditation, the role of mirror neurons and other neuroscience research in order to better understand your own shadow. You’ll explore the interplay between your mind and body and develop skills that help you lead a happier life while helping others to thrive. You will connect with other 16 Guidelines practitioners and share ideas and understanding.

A Way to Say Thank You
Please use the form below if you would like to make an offering to Land of Joy as a thank you for making these resources available. Any offering will be a big help and very gratefully received as the unexpected closure of the centre is having a big impact of our finances. However, we very much appreciate many people are experiencing economical and financial challenges during these unpredictable times and therefore might not be able to support us at the moment.
Thank you and may you be entirely happy.
