JANUARY | LEARN TO MEDITATE
January 4, 11, 18, 25

Meeting Dharma, Buddha’s teachings, opens us up to an entirely new life trajectory. It gives us access to profound insights into how we can scientifically change our thoughts in order to change our relationship with yourself and our world.

Meditation is the method to take the teachings deep within our mind, so that we begin changing right now. Learning, and re-learning how to meditate is therefore vital. The most important thing when it comes to meditation is that we love doing it. If we do, we’ll keep making room for it in our busy lives, and then it’s only a matter of time before our practice will bear fruit.

FEBRUARY TO APRIL | HOW TO CHANGE NEGATIVE PATTERNS OF THOUGHT
Feb 1, 8, 15, 22 | March 1, 8, 15, 22, 29 | April 5

Happiness and suffering are merely states of mind. So if we are to experience the happiness we all long for we must learn to how to connect with that state of mind and not the ones that causes us so much pain.

Part of this process entails identifying our negative patterns of thought so that we can begin to learn to let them go. This will allow us to actively replace those painful thoughts with the positive states of mind that lead to happiness.

In this series we will explore how we can identify and let go of such pain-inducing patterns of thought such as anger, jealousy, obsession, anxiety and more. Buddha called such minds ‘delusions’ because they are characterized by exaggeration, which leads to them being both unpeaceful and unreliable. Currently, we believe the harmful stories these minds are telling us, both about ourselves and the world. These stories are wrong.

Using the special meditation on the nature of the mind, we will learn how to recognize early on when we are under the influence of these harmful minds so that we will not entrust ourselves to them, but rather let them go. Changing such negative patterns of thought is hugely liberating and will open us up to a whole new joyful and creative way to experience our lives and our relationships.
