The “New Year” is a symbol of possibility. We wish for change and hope our lives go in a better direction than before. For that to happen we need to connect with the potential that exists within our minds. The profound tools of transformation within Buddhist meditation gives us the ability to become the person we wish to be: more dynamic, confident, kinder, more loving, peaceful, and happier.
This meditation talk will kick start your year with peace and positivity. Discover your inner potential and learn how to use meditation to make yourself happy.
Let go of negative feelings and embrace the positives. Improve your concentration and focus in daily life, be less stressed and irritable and learn how to develop a more positive outlook on life.

Compassion is a powerful mind motivated by our love for others. Because it is motivated by love, compassion is a pure joyful energy with unimaginable power.
The Buddhist meditation practice of taking and giving (Tonglen in Tibetan) is one of the most powerful methods for opening our hearts and for healing mental and physical illness.
This ancient healing technique has the power to improve mental peace and happiness, and is especially beneficial in situations where we may feel powerless to help others or to overcome adversity.
During this special talk followed by two sessions of retreat, Roozbeh will introduce and guide meditations helping us to connect with our compassion without fear. Then we can develop confidence with the practice of taking and giving and use these meditations in daily life to benefit both yourself and others.
