Living with Anxiety: Befriending & Tending to Fears and Worries

Understanding, calming, and embracing your anxious mind

Join us for a practical half-day retreat (in person or online) on working with anxiety, fear, and worry.

Together, we’ll explore how Buddhist teachings and simple nervous-system practices can help us unhook from anxious thought loops and meet our experience in a healthy, grounded way. We’ll discover powerful perspective shifts that can help us experience greater freedom and clarity.

Over two sessions of teaching and guided meditation, we’ll explore how anxious loops arise and discover ways to respond without creating further resistance and difficulty, whether your anxiety stems from daily worries, work stress, financial concerns, health issues, relationships, or larger issues like the environment or politics.

We hope to create a welcoming, down-to-earth space to practise alongside like-minded people. We hope you’ll leave feeling inspired and more at ease, with new tools to support you in everyday life.

Venue location: The Swansea Wellbeing Centre, Walter Road, Burman Street, Swansea SA1 6BW

We are embracing a sliding scale policy for this event, guided by the Buddhist principle of generosity and inclusivity. Samadhi is a charity, and we have suggested donations that help cover the cost of putting on this event and our day-to-day costs. Choosing the higher option includes a donation to support our activities for the benefit of all.

We firmly believe, however, that financial constraints should never be a barrier to participation. If the suggested amount is beyond your means, please choose the lower option or contribute what you can — every offering helps make this event possible for the collective good. Without your honesty and generosity, we wouldn’t be able to make this event happen!
