LIGHT & PEACEFUL

Summer is often a time when we hope to relax and feel lighter, yet often we are experiencing inner tension, stress, and mental busyness that stops us being truly happy and interferes with our relationships with others. In this four-week course, we explore how to develop a genuinely light mind through Buddhist meditation techniques and practical teachings.

By recognising what weighs the mind down, such as worry, attachment, grasping, and unhelpful habits of thought, we can begin to let go and experience a deeper sense of ease and mental freedom. As the mind becomes lighter, we naturally enjoy more peace and happiness in daily life and more harmony in our relationships with others.

Each session includes simple guided meditations to help us unwind mentally and discover real mental peace.

Week 1: the possibility of peace (Jun 29)

Week 2: What Creates Mental Heaviness (Jul 6)

Week 3: enjoying mental space (Jul 13)

Week 4: Relating to Others with lightness (Jul 20)

Everyone is warmly welcome
