The Peaceful Mind Project: Wisdom Insights for a Happy Life

July 2, 9, 16

£21  for whole 3 week course (30% discount) /  £10 each session (drop in or pre-book) / free with membership

During this course, we focus on creating a good meditation habit and developing wisdom insights for a happier, more meaningful life. By learning to hold our attention on meaningful, positive objects of meditation, we gradually experience deeper levels of peace, clarity, and lasting happiness. Alongside this, we explore the role of a qualified Spiritual Guide, whose guidance helps us strengthen our practice and nurture our inner qualities.

Through these practices, you will discover a fresh and practical approach to meditation—one that helps you navigate everyday challenges with greater ease while uncovering a deeper sense of inner peace.

Week1: The Peace of Concentration
Week 2: Wisdom Insights for a Happy Life
Week 3: Spiritual Friend and Protector

Everybody welcome!
