Upcoming LAMC Workshop - The Nature of Mind

COMING SOON IN 2008!

The Men’s Center of Los Angeles
Presents


The Nature of Mind
An Exploration of Consciousness

With

Dan Franklin, M.F.T, Associate Director
&
Albert Marrewa, M.A., M.P.H. Special Guest Presenter


It’s been said that the mind is a wonderful servant and a terrible master. Join our dynamic presenters in a profound adventure into the mysterious life of the mind and what lies beyond. The grand nexus of the so-called spiritual life and the practical functioning of mind meet at the cross-roads of consciousness. All the great wisdom traditions lead us toward a single goal. Our true nature. Awareness itself.

This seminar takes us on a journey into ourselves, pointing the way to that which has always been. Through instruction, inter-action, experimentation and mind/body experience, a glimpse of what we truly are has an opportunity to emerge. We will gain greater insight into the traps and pitfalls of the thinking process, how the stories we tell ourselves become our life experience and how the strategies for survival and problem- solving brilliance of the mind can lead us down an endless path of searching for happiness without ever finding it.

We will experience a relaxed attention, a fundamental “seeing”, through the stillness, silence and spaciousness that lies beyond the mind. If the truth about life is what you are after, you will find it. It is inevitable. Join with us in the possibilities. Need we wait? What we are is only a mindful moment away, and perhaps not even that! Perhaps it’s already here.
