5-day course

tranquil Zen stacked stonesWe can change our partners, change our looks and change our homes to give us a sense of starting afresh and welcoming new experiences into our lives. Unfortunately, because these changes are external, they often lead to similar discontentment somewhere down the line, and renewed efforts to find something else to satisfy our desires.

In this 5-day course, we will consider how changing mental and emotional habits and tendencies can transform our lives and fulfil us in a way that does not rely on the volatile and uncertain circumstances of our lives, but continues to deepen and fulfil us as we draw on our inner strength and unique personal reservoirs of wellbeing.

Concepts covered

  • The nature of the mind
  • Using mindful awareness in our everyday lives
  • Transforming problems into opportunities for self-development
  • Emotional resilience.
