Freedom from Frustration & Stress
Everyone wants to be happy and content, but despite our best efforts to achieve this we often find ourselves miserable and stressed. In this course we will explore meditations and mindfulness techniques that enable us to recognise unhelpful states of mind as they arise, and we will learn how to let them go with confidence. Discover the peace of mind, freedom and genuine happiness that comes from letting go of worry, stress and frustration.
April 28, May 5, 12 & 19
Love, Desire & Attachment
Real love never causes pain. It is a source of peace and joy, and the foundation of all healthy and positive relationships. The unhappiness we experience in our relationships comes from our uncontrolled desire and attachment to the fulfilment of our own wishes. Left unchecked, these delusions can destroy even our closest and most precious relationships. In this course, learn how to distinguish between love and attachment in your own mind, remove the cause of hurt from your heart and thereby be able to love without pain.
