The 4 Agreements for a Better Life LIVE with don Miquel Ruiz, Sr. and sons, 6:30pm - 9:00pm Hannaford Hall, USM Portland Campus. In his bestselling book, The Four Agreements, don Miguel Ruiz gives us the principles that can transform our lives into an expression of unconditional love. Based on the family’s Toltec wisdom, don Miguel Ruiz and sons will share how to apply “The Four Agreements” in our everyday life as an instrument of transformation in this interactive experience. The presentation will be a form- less organic experience, as the questions and interactive engagement with the Ruiz’s and those in attendance, will create the founda- tion of a new dream where unconditional love is not a definition but an experience we can manifest in our lives. $65-$75/person.
