CREATE MENTAL SPACE

CURRENT SERIES:
Overcoming Everyday Unhappiness through Meditation
​
All of us have to face unwanted situations in our lives. It is very easy to react to these situations by feeling overwhelmed, stressed, upset or angry. Problems arise only if we respond to unwanted situations with a negative state of mind. Therefore, if we want to be happy all the time and to be free from problems, we must develop and maintain a peaceful mind. In this series, we’ll explore some practical techniques that will enable us to learn how to respond to everyday difficulties with a calm and positive mind.
​
These classes are suitable for both beginners and those with more experience. Everyone is welcome.
