Secrets of a Happy Life Public Talk | Friday 21 June | 7-8.30pm

Normally we believe that our happy life depends on external conditions, like having the right job, the right partner and the best possessions. In truth, we can only enjoy our external conditions if we have a happy, peaceful mind.

In this public talk, you will learn that the secret to a happy life lies hidden within. This secret is waiting for us to tap into it, whereby we can realise our own potential for stable peace of mind and happiness.

Went for a drop in this lunchtime and would recommend, everyone was really friendly and the meditation was really relaxing. I’ve never been before and it was completely suitable as a beginner!

Each time I visit this place I feel very welcomed and inspired. Lots of what is said is so useable for daily life - for example how we can use patience to no longer get stressed out in traffic jams , or how we can live in the moment to let go of past stress and worries and simply enjoy .
