Creating Calm in Chaos
Event Details
As life feels increasingly complex & changeable it is more important than ever to find ways of not just coping but thriving.
Hear two of Australia’s most respected & inspiring leaders – Petrea King – Founder of Quest to Life & author of books & CDs including “Your Life Matters” and Charlie Hogg – National Coordinator – Brahma Kumaris Raja Yoga Centres Australia, speaking in Berry
Chaotic events around the world appear to be increasing. Levels of anxiety in both adults and children are growing. More people seem to be wondering what can be done to counteract these challenges.
Petrea and Charlie will share what they have learned & practice. Their paths have been somewhat different – but they both know that creating calm in times of chaos & crisis – personal or community – “is an inside job”.
Charlie Hogg – Co-ordinator of Brahma Kumaris Australia which is part of a worldwide spiritual movement dedicated to personal transformation and world renewal says, “ It seems we are all living in an almost constant storm today. While the storms of situations, emotions and reactions rage around us the wise person learns to navigate into the calm centre of the storm. Increasing our own spiritual power & resilience, we also become a lighthouse for others in the storm’s path.”
In 1983 Petrea was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia and was not expected to live. She has gone on to use that experience to help thousands of others living with cancer and other life-challenging illnesses, grief, loss, trauma and tragedy. Petrea says, “It is invaluable for us to learn how to live in the present moment. When we are present to each moment, we are not projecting our fears or anxieties into the future or rehashing resentment, bitterness or regret about the past. In this way we contribute a more beneficial and powerful healing chemistry within our bodies than when we are emotionally agitated. It’s the juiciest place in life to be.”
“Creating Calm in Chaos” is also a fundraising event. All profits from ticket sales will go to the Quest for Life Foundation & Inner-West Sydney Homeless lunch project.
