We all desire it and we must experience happiness at some point in our lives. In fact, that is why God created us in the first place - to be happy, joyous and free. But for many, perhaps even a majority of people, this is not as easy as it sounds. On June 21, the Voltaire Institute opened its doors to the community to introduce and welcome participants to their new initiative. The Institute's mission is to promote awareness and to awaken the sentiment of personal and collective responsibility for the transformation of the reality that surrounds each of us. The main goal is finding happiness based on genuine principles of the spirituality and hearing the voice of One who is grand in wisdom and power beyond all our comprehension - God.According to the teachings of the Voltaire Institute, happiness is understandable, obtainable and teachable. We simply have to be willing to open up and learn, if we don't know yet how to pursuit it.

Public lectures are offered to free of charge at Institute Voltaire, which is located at 24 Delay Street, Unit 3, across from the Danbury Ice Arena. Meetings are held every Sunday evening at 7:30 p.m. For more information please contact Marcone Vieira at (203) 731-1396.
