The Art of Letting Go
Do you ever find yourself stuck in cycles of negative thinking, even when you want to let them go? In these meditation classes, you'll discover practical techniques to let go of negative minds and break free from self-limiting thoughts. These methods will empower you to cultivate an inner space of clarity and happiness, helping you become a more positive, confident, and resilient person.
This series, grounded in Kadampa Buddhism, will focus on practical and spiritual ways to cultivate the art of letting go. Each week will offer teachings and meditations specifically tailored to the needs of busy city living, encouraging an exploration into how letting go can be a means of emotional healing, personal growth and spiritual awakening.
These classes include two guided meditations and a talk on letting go of what’s holding us back from our spiritual and personal growth. After each class there is time for Q&A.
Each class is self-contained, so you are welcome to join at any time. No previous experience with meditation is necessary. You don’t need to bring anything with you, and the meditation is conducted on chairs (though you are welcome to bring a cushion if you prefer).
