Creative
Engagement: How to Break Free of Habits the Buddhist Way
on
Thursday 21st October 2010, 7:30 - 9:30pm
at
the Griffith University Multi-Faith Centre
Nathan,
Brisbane
Martine writes: In this talk I'll explore
the habits that bind us and stop our potential for wisdom and
compassion manifesting fully. I will look at how the meditative
tools found in the Vipassana and Zen traditions like watching
the breath, listening and questioning can help us to engage creatively
with our habits and transform them into positive functions.
