Habits of happiness
3 Week Meditation Course with Buddhist Nun Kelsang Oden
Whilst we all want happiness in our life, it can seem quite elusive. Discover how we can change this and find a deep and stable experience of inner peace, genuine happiness and emotional well being, through developing new inner habits of happiness.
We will explore how meditation gives us a simple and direct way to connect to a natural peace and joy within our own mind. This opens us up to recognizing and identifying with, the potential for happiness and other good qualities that exist within each and everyone of us.
Classes last for an hour. They are suitable for complete beginners and those with more experience of meditation. Light refreshements will be served before or after the class.
About the course: this 3 week course aim to teach effective, meditation-based solutions to everyday problems taken from the Kadampa Buddhist tradition and classes are held in the beautiful Mallandain Room at the Whitstable Castle.
