**in AUSTIN** BE: Center in Peace

Come explore, experience and BE with how compassion for others and for self is the springboard to peace…to BEing the peace that you seek.

The Golden Rule as found in all the major religions of the world moves us to treat others as we ourselves wish to be treated. Learning to treat ourselves with compassion ripples out into our daily encounters and we begin to experience the transformative power that lies within each of us.
