LOCATION:Yangmountian :: 6630 Willis Point Rd Victoria, V9E2A2
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Resting in silence brings us to a place void of external distraction. The noise of daily life begins to fall away, allowing stillness to support our natural state of awareness. This process of self-inquiry allows the mind's conditioned reactions to dissolve, creating space for one to objectively see through habitual ideas and beliefs, and supporting one to find freedom from suffering.=0D=0A=
