But what’s actually behind them, and how can we have more peace and balance amidst life’s demands? Join Buddhist teacher David Oromith, who has spent over a decade at the intersection of Buddhist psychology and modern approaches to mental wellbeing, for an honest and practical evening on the inner causes of stress and burnout, and what we can do about them. Drawing on Buddhist psychology, years working in mental health services, and his own journey through depression, anxiety and burnout, David will explore: * why the modern stress cycle is so relentless, and what breaks it * the three layers of burnout and how to work with each one * simple practices and resets you can use anytime, anywhere * how acceptance and self-compassion help you bounce back when things go wrong David guides with warmth, honesty and humour. There’s no jargon and no pressure to be spiritual or anything other than who you are. We hope to share practical tools grounded in both ancient wisdom and modern understanding. The evening includes a short guided meditation, talk, and Q&A. **Who’s it for?** Anyone feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or just curious. Whether you’ve never meditated or practise every day, you’re very welcome. **Booking & Donations** There are limited places available for this evening talk and you can also join online. Please book in advance using the following link: [The Psychology of Stress & Burnout: A Buddhist Perspective - Samadhi](https://www.samadhi.org.uk/events/psychology-of-stress-and-burnout/) **Suggested donations:** £8–£15 in person, £5–£12 online. **To get the Zoom link, [please register here](https://www.samadhi.org.uk/events/psychology-of-stress-and-burnout/), you'll receive the link by email.** We are embracing a sliding scale policy for this event, guided by the Buddhist principle of generosity and inclusivity.
