Calgary Association of Lifelong Learners is pleased to announce this interest group to be held in Room 310 at cSPACE Marda Loop.
In this weekly course CALL members will experience the health benefits of the meditative practices of, “paying attention on purpose, in the moment, without judgement” as well as the benefits to health and well being of paying attention to the transitory nature of experience. The connection of these processes to the brain will also be discussed.

There is a universal human desire to be happy and to avoid suffering. We try to fulfill that desire through our outer world – family, career, service, hobbies, recreation, etc. Through modern technology, we now have wealth and health to an extent that our ancestors (and many in developing nations) could only dream of. Yet which of us is truly happy and free of suffering? Do you have the feeling that “something” is missing?
We have known since we were small children that we have a mind and a body. However, we have a third, inner resource that we easily overlook, that can provide a source of joy and respite from suffering.
Please join us at “Finding Peace and Joy Within” to have a direct experience of this resource to help you have a happier and more fulfilled life.
You must be a member of CALL.

Calgary Association of Lifelong Learners (CALL) welcomes Dr. Alana Gowdy for another of her presentations on Medieval History. Alana will focus on three examples of the written record that come from a wide span of history. The Vindolanda Letters, written by soldiers near Hadrian’s Wall; the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, started by Alfred the Great; and the Magna Carta, prepared for King John in the thirteenth century. This topic might sound heavy but not with Alana who shares her passion for Medieval history with a light heart and a touch of humour.
