How to Stop Overthinking
5-week course starting 2 September
Our mind is rarely still. We replay conversations, worry about the future, and struggle to switch off, leaving us feeling stressed, anxious, and exhausted—even if we left the office hours ago.
Yet Buddha explained that it’s possible to become increasingly calm, clear, and peaceful. In this short meditation series, we will explore simple meditation techniques and timeless Buddhist mind-training methods that enable to achieve that state even amidst the busyness of modern life. By applying these techniques in meditation and during our daily activities, we can learn to let go of unhelpful thought patterns, reconnect with the natural peace of our own mind, and cultivate a mind that remains peaceful and focused whatever life brings.
Week 1 – Sep 2: How to Switch Off and Enjoy a Quiet Mind
Week 2 – Sep 9: Breaking Free from Worry
Week 3 – Sep 16: Dropping Overthinking
Week 4 – Sep 23: Finding Peace in an Uncertain World
Week 5 – Sep 30: Developing Lasting Peace of Mind
Everybody welcome!

Next Series:
Seeing Things as They Really Are
4-week October course
Week 1 – 7 Oct: Why is real happiness so elusive?
Week 2 – 14 Oct: Who am I really? with Mark Budd
Week 3 – 21 Oct: Seeing beyond appearances
Week 4 – 28 Oct: The freedom of letting go
Because most of our stress and mental pain actually comes from misunderstanding ourselves, other people, and the world around us, Buddha taught how, by seeing things as they really are, we can steadily free ourselves from these.
In October we will explore Buddha’s wisdom teachings to see how a deeper understanding of reality really can transform our daily experience, allow us to let go of limiting beliefs, and develop a stable source of peace and happiness.
