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.
Each session includes two guided meditations and a practical talk on the weekly topic.
Each class stands on its own, so you can join at any time and book individual sessions.
Meditations are practised seated on chairs.
Whether you are new to meditation or have some experience, you are warmly invited to join us.
IMPORTANT: Due to city by-laws, advance booking is required using the booking form below.

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!

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.
