Ever feel like you’re chasing happiness in all the wrong places? 🏃💨

We spend so much time trying to control our external world—our jobs, our houses, our schedules—but we still face stress and unhappiness. Why? Because happiness and suffering are actually states of mind. 🧘✨

When: Thursday, May 14 | 11:00 am – 12:30 pm
Where: 2120 Kensington Road NW, Calgary
Cost: $15 (Drop-ins welcome!)
