Transform how you navigate life's challenges with our four-week series, "Transforming Conflict." Rooted in timeless Kadampa Buddhist wisdom, this course will explain how outer conflict begins within and that real, lasting peace can be found by training your own mind. Each week, through practical teachings and guided meditations, you will learn to replace reactive anger with patient acceptance, cultivate compassion, and take authentic responsibility for your part in relationships. Move beyond simply managing conflicts to transforming them into powerful opportunities for personal growth and inner harmony. Discover a truly skillful and peaceful way of engaging with the world.

These are drop-in classes, so you can attend any or all of them. Each class includes 2 guided meditations and a practical talk. Everyone is welcome!

Register online in advance (see below), or at the door.
