Topics & Dates
Happiness and suffering are feelings – parts of our mind – and so their main causes are not to be found outside the mind. In this series we will gain a deep insight into our mind, and discover how an understanding of its nature and functions can be used practically in everyday experience to improve our lives. Learn how to recognise and abandon states of mind that harm us, replace them with peaceful and beneficial ones, and start to make happiness your immediate reality.

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.
May 3, 10 & 17
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.
