Description

Our constant pursuit of happiness in all the things around us creates a lot of fear, anxiety, and even low self esteem. Seeking affirmation from others, financial success, and perfect relationships often leaves us exhausted and lacking confidence.

Through consistent meditation practice, Buddha leads us on an amazing journey of inner exploration. We find an inexhaustible source of peace and happiness within our own mind, which allows us to naturally abandon fear and cultivate an authentic confidence in daily life.

Everyone is welcome.

Description

Buddha taught The Four Noble Truths over 2600 years ago, yet this ancient wisdom is still a very relevant method to solve our modern problems. This is because our inner problems remain the same—negative states minds, such as discontentment, disappointment and depression. And the practical solutions are also the same—we need to identify, reduce and abandon our negative mental habits. We can all learn to do this. 

Everyone is welcome. These classes are intended for people of all spiritual backgrounds and beliefs.

Description

Stress, irritation, frustration and anger are common experiences in modern life. These painful states of mind can easily arise when we encounter challenging situations and difficult people. If our mind of anger is not recognized early on, it can become a poison that destroys our happiness and interferes with our relationships. 

These classes will introduce several methods for recognizing, reducing and finally removing this destructive habit from our mind, and helping us to experience the peace and freedom that we all long for.

Everyone is welcome. You can attend any class or the entire series.

Description

Our relationships with others—whether between couples, within a family, or with friends and colleagues—can have a huge impact on our happiness. Unfortunately, it’s very common for problems to arise due to misunderstandings, unrealistic expectations or conflict. This is especially painful when the person is close us, or someone who we have frequent contact with. 

Through meditation we can find positive ways of relating to others that bring more joy, harmony and good communication. And we can also identify negative mental habits that sabotage our interactions with others, and learn practical methods to transform these. 

Everyone is welcome.
