"How Mindfulness Changes Our World"
With Gretchen Kennedy, RScP

Join us this Sunday when Gretchen Kennedy, RScP, shares her experience in understanding and practicing Mindfulness in many forms.

The basis of Mindfulness is being present, learning to bring our attention to the here and now, and simply seeing what arises without bias or judgment. The benefit is that we become more synchronized in body and mind, and begin to relate to our world in a less distracted and more wakeful way.

If you are ready to quiet your mind and bring greater peace into your everyday life, this talk will provide several tools!

Would You Like To Speak At Awakened Heart?

At Awakened we like to present many speakers from different traditions and walks of life to find the common  positive and life-affirming viewpoints in alignment with the New Thought - Ancient Wisdom philosophy.

The Science of Mind philosophy teaches that by understanding and harnessing the creative power of our thoughts, we can transform our lives and manifest our desires in the physical world. It combines spiritual principles, affirmative prayer, and a focus on mental and emotional alignment to promote personal growth and spiritual development.

If you feel you have a positive message to share that promotes mental, spiritual, emotional and physical well-being and the understanding that life begins from within, please contact:

Mary Wimberly, RScP at 302-409-2961 or
Gretchen Kennedy, RScP at 302-558-2789

Either of them will be happy to provide you with more information and discuss your ideas.
