South Hampshire Meditation and Mindfulness Group by Samadhi

Anger is one of the most powerful and persuasive human emotions. It can feel justified, energising, and even necessary – yet the Buddha consistently presents it as a source of suffering, distortion, and limitation.

Many of us encounter Buddhist teachings on anger through summaries, later texts, or modern interpretations. In this short Sutta Study series, we will turn directly to a small selection of early Buddhist texts from the Pāli Canon to see how the Buddha and the early tradition approached anger directly.

Drawing on discourses from the Saṃyutta and Aṅguttara Nikāyas, a reflection from the Theragāthā, and short passages from the Dhammapada, we will explore anger from several perspectives: how it arises in response to insult, how it relates to power and strength, its consequences, and how understanding and practice can gradually transform it. Rather than offering a single solution, we’ll see how the Buddha provided a range of skilful responses, encouraging curiosity and openness to different approaches.

This series is suitable for those with some familiarity with Buddhist practice who are interested in studying the suttas or reflecting on the role of anger in the path to freedom. No prior textual study experience is necessary to join and benefit from the series.

Each session will include a guided meditation, a reading of the texts with commentary, and time for group discussion. We will focus on how these teachings can help us respond skillfully to anger in everyday life, making the practice relevant and accessible.

This event is part of a two-module course that Lucid Dreaming teacher Charlie Morley is offering, spread over two Saturdays.

You can join one or both, depending on your interest.

The first module explores how to have lucid dreams for psychological growth and healing using the best of Western scientific techniques, and the second module explores the basics of Tibetan Dream Yoga and is aimed at practising Buddhists.

Day 1. Lucid Dreaming for Psychological Growth & Healing

Saturday 24th January 2026, 11am-7pm (UK timezone)

A lucid dream is a dream in which we are actually aware that we are dreaming as the dream is happening.

Once we are lucid we gain access to the deepest depths of the unconscious mind which allows us to engage in psychological healing at a level often unattainable in the waking state.

In this one day lucid dreaming workshop Charlie Morley shows us how to utilize the third of our life that we spend sleeping to dream lucidly, sleep consciously and to train our minds to be “more awake, more aware, and more kind.”

This online workshop offers a uniquely holistic approach to lucid dreaming with the core aims of psychological growth and healing of trauma.

Charlie has been teaching lucid dreaming for over 15 years and has developed a step by step protocol that has taught thousands of people to dream lucidity.

What will we learn?

• How to have lucid dreams
• The powerful benefits of lucid dreaming.
• Dream Planning (Charlie’s 3 step process)
• Using sleep for healing.
• Practical exercises proven to induce lucid dreams.

Open to complete beginners (as well as seasoned lucid dreamers) the workshop will include everything you need to learn how to lucid dream and to wake up to your fullest potential.
