We are continuing the theme of “The Art of Letting Go” for this four-class series. The series will explore four essential practices that lead to awakening our full potential. Each practice not only involves engaging in powerful positive actions, it also includes letting go of what holds us back. This series will offer practical meditations to help us train our mind both in meditation and in daily life.
Each class includes 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.
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!

As conscientious Dharma practitioners, we should observe our own shortcomings instead of being preoccupied with those of other people.
