Patience is one of those qualities that people so often say they lack and invariably find in short supply in themselves or others. One constantly hears cries of "I don't have the patience for this!" or "I'm losing my patience." Whether it is with our families, our co-workers, or ourselves, patience so often seems to abandon us when we need it most. Be part of a dynamic workshop in which we will learn skills to carve out a pathway to becoming a more patient person every day. Through teachings, practice, and discussion we will explore how to develop and strengthen a depth of patience so that we can become a truly patient person when facing life's delays, inefficiencies, and frustrations. This workshop is the perfect first step toward a newer, happier you in 2012.
