How to Live Lightly
4-week October course

Week 1 – Oct 4: Where does unhappiness come from?
Week 2 – Oct 11:
Believing in Ourself with Mark Budd
Week 3 – Oct 18: Am I exaggerating? with Mark Budd
Week 4 – Oct 25: Learning to let go 

What if many of the things that make us unhappy are not as fixed or as overwhelming as they appear? Buddha taught that by looking at our experiences in a different way, we can free ourselves from many of the mental habits that keep us stuck in cycles of stress, anxiety and frustration.

This October, discover simple meditation techniques and wisdom that will help you see life from a fresh perspective. Learn how to let go of unhelpful ways of thinking, respond more calmly to difficulties, and develop a deeper sense of freedom, peace and happiness in daily life.

Join us on Sunday morning for time dedicated to finding happiness within. This class will consist of two guided meditations, and an inspirational teaching on how we can conjoin our daily activities with positive attitudes and spiritual perspectives that transform our daily life into the path to true happiness. Each month we have a different course and each week we have a different topic.

You’re welcome to stay afterwards for a chill chat over croissants and coffee.

Everyone welcome!

How to Develop a Still Mind
5-week November course

Week 1 – Nov 1: Why Can’t I Concentrate?!
Week 2 – Nov 8: The Art of Meditation
Week 3 – Nov 15: Letting Go of Distraction
Week 4 – Nov 22: The joy of Inner Stillness
Week 5 – Nov 29: Living Mindfully Every Day

Our attention is constantly being pulled from one thing to the next. We check our phones without thinking, struggle to stay present, and often find that our mind simply refuses to settle—even during meditation or when we want to go to sleep.

Yet Buddha taught that, with the right techniques, we can gradually still our thoughts and develop a deeply concentrated mind. In this practical course, discover those techniques and learn how to use them to improve focus and experience the deep peace that naturally arises from concentration. Whether you’re looking to deepen your meditation or simply enjoy a calmer, clearer mind in everyday life, this course is for you.
