Christmas rarely goes to plan. Family tensions overshadow dinner; our Christmas pudding ends up dry and burnt; and the gift we were hoping for never arrives.
In this practical half-day course, discover Buddha’s remarkable advice for finding happiness when things don’t go to plan. Instead of depending on everything being perfect, learn how to develop an inner peace that actually grows stronger in the face of life’s difficulties. Through guided meditations and practical wisdom, discover how to transform festive frustrations into opportunities for inner growth—and finish Christmas feeling lighter, happier, and ready for the year ahead. Everybody welcome!
