"Thoughts Are Things" is the title of a talk to be given at the Emerald Coast Meditation Society Feb. 18 by Kabe Woods, facilitator of the Mindfulness Practice Center of Fort Walton Beach.

In his talk Woods will discuss how our thoughts influence and develop our individual consciousness and the collective consciousness of the world around us. He will share how the Buddha, Jesus of Nazareth and other teachers have described this process and the process of transforming our consciousness toward love, peace and deep connection to ultimate truth and God.
