ON-Going Events at the Healing Arts Centre
Amma Satsang
The 1st Sunday of EVERY MONTH at 5:30pm (please call to confirm) - FREE!
Satsang is a Sanskrit word meaning a close association or companionship with a Self-Realized Soul. It can also refer to discussion or hearing of spiritual truths expressed by Self-Realized Masters. In the scorching heat of worldliness, being in the presence of a Master or a Master's teachings is like a cool breeze in the shade of a huge tree.
Please join us as we gather with some of Amma's longtime devotees for an inspiring evening of prayer, puja (sacred ceremony) and song. Known as The Hugging Saint, Amma (Mother) has physically hugged more than 26 million people from all parts of the world. Her tireless spirit of dedication to uplifting others over the past 38 years has inspired a vast network of charitable activities through which people are discovering the beauty and sense of peace that comes from selflessly serving others. For more information, please see the organization's website at www.amma.org or call Meghan at (706) 613.1143

The Healthy Relationships Tripod
with Dr. Andy Case-Simonson
Healthy relationships are at the heart of wholeness, happiness and well-being. They also require work, sacrifice, effort, and can be exhausting and difficult. This workshop was created to help you strengthen both current and future relationships. First, you will explore your identity and how your sense of self directs your relationship wants and needs. Second, you will uncover your “relationship culture” and how this provides a map to relationship satisfaction. Finally, you will examine the presence of intimacy, including the 5 different types and the levels you need in different types of relationships. Exercises will be provided to guide self-exploration and learning.
