Finding Peace in Difficult Times
How meditation can help everyone
A public talk with Gen Kelsang Thekchen
What if you could meet life's challenges with greater calm, patience, and confidence?
Every day brings difficulties — from small annoyances like traffic and frustrations to bigger challenges such as conflict, disappointment, or loss.
We can't always control what happens, but we can learn to change how we respond and what we experience within.
In this practical and uplifting evening, you'll learn simple meditations and ways of thinking inspired by Buddhist wisdom to:
✨ reduce stress and anxiety
✨ develop greater calm and patience
✨ become more peaceful and resilient
✨ respond to difficult situations with greater confidence
Whether you're completely new to meditation or have some experience, you're warmly invited.
Booking can include a four week class series with Tracy Li at the same venue.
