Letting go of

Distraction

Distraction robs us of our peace and steals our experience of pleasure and happiness.

Distraction has become such a normal part of our daily experience, that we have come to accept it as a side-effect of modern living. Whether we escape from stress by occupying our time with mindless activities, or simply notice the constant swirl of mental chatter.

Gen Norbu will explore this sneaky mental habit, and teach proven methods and meditations to help us reduce disturbing distractions and bring inner peace to our busy, hectic lives.

Everyone is welcome.
