Overcoming Worry and Anxiety
~ Half-day Course with Kadam John McBretney in Greenwich
Sat 23 November, 2pm - 5pm
Anxiety, worry, fear and disappointment are states of mind that are nearly universal experiences in our busy modern life. They rob us of our ability to enjoy and experience peace of mind. Through Buddhist meditation we can learn to respond to life’s challenges with a peaceful and positive attitude. As a result all our ordinary problems will fall away and we can face life with joy, stability and profound inner peace.

How to Be Kind to Yourself
~ Half-day course at Heruka KMC
Sat 23 November, 10am - 1pm
Buddha said that we are our own protector and that we are our own enemy. It is therefore important to learn how we are often harming ourself by thinking in ways that make us feel depressed or angry, and how we can instead start thinking in ways that uplifts our mind and makes us feel happy about ourself and others. In this way we are truly kind to ourself and we help others too.

Dealing with Loss and Change
~ Day course with Kadam John McBretney at Heruka KMC
Sat 7 December, 10am - 4pm
The people and things we hold onto and worry about are in a state of constant change. By contemplating Buddha’s teachings on life, death and rebirth we can discover how to live within the experience of the truth of impermanence. In this way we can learn to reduce our mental clinging and begin to relax, let go and enjoy life to the full in the midst of change.

A Life Without Stress
~ Half-day course at Heruka KMC
Sat 14 December, 10am - 1pm
Stress and irritation are endemic in our busy, fast paced life. We tend to think that situations or people in our life are the causes of our stress or unhappiness, so we then spend a lot of time mentally trying to figure out how to fix those situations or people, which often just makes our mind busier. Buddha taught that all our unhappiness, stress and irritation comes from our mind – specifically from our unrealistic expectations and our exaggerated views of ourself, people around us and the world in general. By learning to identify the actual causes of stress and unhappy thoughts we can begin to understand how to become free from them. On this course we will explore special ways of thinking and meditations that heal the mind of the source of these problems.
