This w/shop, 'Beyond Mindfulness,' looks at this question and offers answers through meditation practices that go beyond mind and mindfulness, exploring the realm of the spiritual heart and the concept of soul or a spiritual Self discovered in the deeper regions of consciousness.

Admission is free, and there will be a vegetarian lunch provided.
When: Saturday 6 July, 10.30am to 2pm

Where: Mt Eden War Memorial Hall (Chamber Room), 489 Dominion Rd.
