Living life with illness, pain, and disability does not have to define you. You are so much more than your body and it’s capabilities. I truly believe that I have suffered with my own health so that I can share meditation and coping techniques with other patients who may be suffering also. This course truly comes from my heart to help you to see that there are so many ways to live your life beautifully, even with disability, illness and pain. At the end of the 10 days, I truly believe that you will agree, that life can still be so very beautiful, even alongside illness, pain and disability.
