Does it appeal to you to be able to breathe and not feel pulled in so many directions? Being “busy” is part of life for most people on the planet. For members of the Baha’i Faith or people deeply engaged in efforts to make the world a better place, deciding which community-building activities to pursue can sometimes feel overwhelming. It’s wise to pause and reflect on the sacred balance of living a joyful life that deeply considers personal well-being and the needs of marriage, family, and home.
Individuals, couples, and families are welcome to participate in this course, which invites reflection, study of spiritual guidance, consultation, and the development of new plans of action.
