Finding Peace in Difficult Times
A Practical Four-Week Meditation Course
for Everyday Life
Every day we face challenges in life - from small things like stubbing a toe or getting stuck in traffic, to larger difficulties such as conflict, disappointment, loss, or relationship challenges.
While we cannot always control what happens to us, we can learn to control how we respond and our inner experience of these situations.
In these classes, we will explore practical meditations and ways of thinking that help us remain peaceful and positive when we encounter difficulties in life.
By responding to difficulties with wisdom and patience, we can transform challenges into opportunities for growth and inner development.
“When things go wrong in our life and we encounter difficult situations, we tend to regard the situation itself as our problem, but in reality whatever problems we experience come from the mind.
If we were to respond to difficult situations with a positive or peaceful mind, they would not be problems for us; indeed, we may even come to regard them as challenges or opportunities for growth and development.”
How to Transform Your Life by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso

Whether you are new to meditation or have some experience, you are warmly invited to join us.

I've been to five workshops at this centre over the last year and it's completely revolutionized my meditation practice. I'm super grateful to have stumbled across them and recommend them every chance I get. Thanks!
— Andrew
Every time I join a workshop, I go home with valuable lessons that I can live by in daily life. The teachings are logical and cleaned my negativity significantly.
— Sara
I apply many of the teachings in everything I do in my daily life and I can say I am a much happier person and lead a much lighter life. This is my personal experience. I hope that if you get a chance to try them out they’ll be helpful in some way to you as well.
