PLease download the workshop flyer in PDF format for details of the workshop.

This is a demonstration of an awareness-raising experiential session that was part of a 3-day overnight workshop called <Dear Heart Relax> launched for the first time 14 years ago by Dr. Grace Cheung and Rev. Thomas Kwan. Since then, more than one thousand people have participated in the workshop and many have found it enlightening and-reorienting. Many have emerged from the workshop more peaceful and more aware of what they look for in life and how they want to live life more fully and humanely, each according to his/her own aspiration.

Assisted with impromptu journal writing, special audio-visual arrangements and guided meditations, participants are invited to enter into an imaginary life-and-death Journey. It is hoped that at the end of the session participants will gain new insight and become more able to see things as they are release themselves from unnecessary worries and gain a light heart as they continue their in life.

Dr. Grace Cheung and Rev Thomas Kwan will head a team that leads this workshop and the entire activity will be conducted in Chinese (mandarin). Loose & comfortable wear is recommended. Please also bring a personal clean bed sheet for private use. It will be a special session which we believe you will enjoy.

Remark: A sandwich lunch will be included. Loose & comfortable wear is recommended. Please also bring a personal clean bed sheet for private use.
