Saturday, October 19th @ 10am-1pm

Do you feel that your meditation practice isn’t really progressing? Do you struggle to maintain your practice amidst the busyness of daily life? Is it difficult to improve your concentration? This course will help you to overcome such obstacles and create an effective and joyful meditation practice.

Gaining deep inner experience of meditation depends upon certain inner conditions. Just as we need to prepare the ground before we plant seeds in a garden, so we need to prepare our mind if we are to enjoy the fruits of our meditation practice. If our mind is burdened with too much negativity, or if it lacks inner power, and if we’re not receiving the empowering inspiration of enlightened beings our progress will be limited. 

Josh will show how we can remove these obstacles so that our mind is clear and strong. He will explain the practices of purifying negativity, accumulating merit, and receiving the inspiring blessings of enlightened beings, which are essential for a confident and joyful meditation practice. 

Everyone is welcome to attend this course, regardless of previous experience.
