The Peaceful Mind Project: Good Heart

June 4, 11, 18, 25

£28  for whole 4 week course (30% discount) /  £10 each session (drop in or pre-book) / free with membership

Over this four-week series learn to grow the minds of love and compassion, discover how it is possible to develop a limitless and outward focus towards others. The minds of love and compassion are at the root of our ability to have a peaceful and positive day and transform any problems that come our way. They are the opposite of the limited and inward focus we often experience, stuck in negativity and unable to solve our problems, or find the peace and happiness we seek.
The focus of these classes will be four special meditation practices, expertly explained and guided, and will open a whole new perspective on how we can bring significant benefit to self and others.

Week 1: Good heart
Week 2: Giving happiness
Week 3: Breathe peace and happiness
Week 4: Friend of the world

Everybody welcome!

During this course, we focus on creating a good meditation habit and developing wisdom insights for a happier, more meaningful life.

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.
