What we’re about
Meet like-minded people interested in meditation near you! Learn how to meditate or deepen your current meditation practice. A trademark of the meditations we emphasize is the ease in which they can be used both “on the cushion” and in our daily lives.
Each meeting will include practical meditation, and a talk on how to reduce stress and other problems encountered in daily life and how to increase mental and physical well-being. There will also be plenty of time to discuss the ideas presented. Although the meditations and talks are based on Kadampa Buddhist philosophy, you don't need to be a Buddhist to enjoy this group or benefit from our meditations.
Kadampa Buddhism stresses a spiritual path of individual transformation and to look within ourselves for the inner peace and happiness we seek. Everyone is welcome!

The Peace of a Patient Mind: Half-Day Course with Modern Buddhism Teacher Kadam Sharon Lovich
**This Course will be held in-person only at Laughing Elephant Yoga, Hendersonville, NC
There are many things in life that we just don’t like and would rather avoid, There are difficult people, disappointments and loss, or a life that looks and feels quite differently then how we had hoped, imagined, or planned. When we meet with ‘unwanted’ circumstances resignation or anger can easily set in and we experience a type of ‘inner resistance’ that can feel as if we are going through our life with the emergency brake on.
In this course we will learn how to move beyond this heavy mind of resistance and replace it with a wisdom mind of acceptance. Then quickly, we will begin to experience greater energy, joy, and lightness in our life. Everybody Welcome.
Includes guided meditations, talks, time for Q&A and a tea break.

Anger appears in many forms and disguises. Sometimes it manifests as a feeling of stress, other times it may take the form of depression. From the slightest frustration to resentment and embittered rage, anger is an emotion we all need to understand and conquer if we are to enjoy and make the most out of our life. In this course we will explore practical solutions to the problem of anger, deconstructing its actual causes and learning viable alternatives to this painful habit of mind.
