• Find out what the emotional freedom technique is in two upcoming workshops this month. EFT/Tapping is one of the handiest life tools you will ever acquire. It is a safe, non-invasive way of managing the emotional energy that runs our lives and sometimes brings us down in uncomfortable ways. An introductory workshop will be offered on Monday, May 27, 7-9 p.m. in the Kent Street Activity Centre classroom.

As we age, confidence means so much more than it did before. EFT can help you gain the courage and strength to step out alone. Find out how on Thursday, May 16, 7-9 p.m. at the Kent Street Activity Centre. Call 604-541-2199 to register for one or both of these classes.
