Let It Go: Freedom from Anxiety
Three Week Course Starting 6 May
Come along to this course to discover how to cope with life’s many challenges without panicking and find refuge in the natural peace already within your mind.
Whether occasional or regular, anxiety can feel overwhelming – like our thoughts are running the show and we’re stuck in cycles of worry. But we can use Buddha’s wisdom to understand that both our problems and the thoughts that fuel them are constantly changing and unfixed, so we don’t need to remain stuck. Our anxious thoughts don’t have to define us or control us—we can learn simple effective methods to let them simply arise and pass, breaking free
Week 1 – May 6: The vicious cycle of anxiety—and how to step out of it
Week 2 – May 13: How to access the peace within
Week 3 – May 20: Letting thoughts come and go without fear
