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 six-week course, 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, and refreshments are served.
The classes are self-contained, so you are welcome to join at any time. No previous experience is required. You can book online or register in person on the day of the class.
Everyone is welcome!
