Next half-day course – Peace and Positivity
Saturday March 23rd
Real happiness doesn’t depend upon external things such as people, possessions or jobs. Real happiness comes from within our own mind.
Through Buddha’s wisdom, we can begin to understand how our mind creates our reality and all our experiences. Understanding this we can gradually learn, through meditation, how to train our mind to be peaceful and positive more often.
Good for beginners and those with experience.
