Boundaries before a Breakdown in Bhakti

Description: In your enthusiasm to be of as much service as possible do you find that you've lost your balance? Do you struggle to find time for your spiritual practice and self care amidst how much you have to do? When you say no, do you feel selfish? Despite doing so much do you find yourself unseen and undervalued? This session explores what boundaries are, why they are necessary for spirtual growth and how they can facilitate a better life and service.
