Self-care, Nourishment and Becoming

  • In this intimate course, Dr. Larry Ward helps us notice what we’re consuming through all of our senses, hearts, and minds. We will be affected by what we choose to take in. Choosing wisely is a form of self-care. Consciously or unconsciously, what we consume nourishes our being and becoming.

  • I find myself tuning into your teachings and practices even more these days. It helps so much to stay grounded, and to focus on the energy that I can shine out for myself, and what I can let go of. It’s always been important, but it feels even more vital these days.

  • The loving kindness you both radiate to those gathered to hear the dharma is amazingly healing.
