JUST ENOUGH: Mindfulness and Money November 10, 2012

Our own experience of desire or anxiety about money and possessions is obvious. Is there a Middle Way when it comes to money? While we have an insatiable craving for things, the good news is that we have another kind of desire–a desire for the true well-being of ourselves and others.

In this workshop we will explore how to:
—Shift from the pursuit of material happiness to a happiness free of external conditions
—Increase awareness of money, spending, and debt
—Bring ethics and wisdom to how we earn and spend money
—Apply what the Buddha taught about money, and use practical tools of personal and financial awareness

A vegetarian/vegan lunch will be provided.
Suggested donation $35.00. No one turned away for lack of funds.
Please RSVP on the web or call 503-728-0654.
