So\u2026 we need support \u2013 not necessarily from the illness itself but how it has also changed our lives, relationships and work.<\/p>\n<p>There are holistic approaches, however, such as creating an organic (simplistic) way of acknowledging and managing our experiences. Yet how do we do that?<\/p>\n<p>Middle Way Health, MiddleWayFoundation and Lions Roar Dharma Center all go hand in hand in hand. They support one another and are devoted to supporting all others seeking comfort and connection.<\/p>\n<p>In order to help make this happen we have made some recent changes , consolidated things, for instance, such as our websites, the online magazine and our blog.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018La Dolce Vita\u2019 is the vision and concept that created our magazine. \u2018Falling in Love with World\u2019 is the inspiration for our blog. MiddleWay Health Foundation is the inspiration for helping others in need. Lion\u2019s Roar is not just a Buddhist center but a community center for gathering and inspiration.<\/p>\n<p>~<\/p>\n<p><em>La Dolce Vita<\/em> focuses on the sweet, good or blissful life \u2013 depending on where you are on your journey \u2013 or even if for just that day. But there is always occasionally going to be some suffering. So where does that suffering go, and what do we do with it?<\/p>\n<p>This is why EXPRESSIONS was born, from a need for release and relief; a desire for music, poetry, art; gathering, camaraderie, friendship. You are always welcome to come sit on a cushion in our temple &#8211; a quiet, beautiful, secure place where you hopefully find some solace.<\/p>\n<p>Last Friday of every month, 6 pm @ Lion\u2019s Roar Dharma Center<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018La Dolce Vita\u2019 is the vision and concept that created our magazine. \u2018Falling in Love with World\u2019 is the inspiration for our blog.
