Thursday morning meditation class
December Theme: Surviving Christmas. Festive not Restive!
Christmas and New Year should be a time of joy, goodwill and togetherness. But it can also bring a sense of disappointment, and frustration. After all, everybody else seems to be having such fun. Don’t they? People are desperate to be happy. But we all know how this can lead to stress, pressure, friction, and sadness.
We can make some simple changes in our outlook and mental habits to get us through the festive period more happily and more relaxed. By finding mental peace for ourselves we can make the most of our own break and help others to enjoy theirs.
This 3-week course is designed to do exactly that. To give us a mental survival kit to get through the break unscathed and in good emotional shape.
These classes cover a wide range of engaging topics. Drop in whenever you can as each class is self-contained.
The classes include 2 guided meditations and a practical teaching on how to apply the ancient wisdom of Buddha’s teachings to busy modern life.
The classes conclude with the opportunity to discuss the class with the teacher and/or other members of the class.
