How To Survive The Holiday Season
Half-day course with Sandra Lewis
Christmas can be a wonderful time of year – spending time with loved ones, practising generosity, and appreciating the kindness of others. However, we know that for some, it can be stressful – sometimes noisy, hectic, and a little overwhelming. Spending time with the people we care about can be challenging and can sometimes test our patience!
In this half-day meditation workshop, you’ll discover positive ways of thinking to help you stay calm, centred, and joyful over the holiday period. Learn how to manage holiday stress, be patient in challenging moments with your loved ones, and carry a sense of peace throughout the season.
This course takes place in the serene, spacious, and comfortable meditation room at Kadampa Meditation Centre Canada. Between sessions, enjoy complimentary refreshments and the opportunity to ask questions.
No previous meditation experience is needed. Everyone is welcome!

It is possible to find parking in the nearby streets. However, it is generally not possible to park for more than 3 hours during the day. It is necessary to have a permit in order to park overnight in the area.
Temporary day parking spots nearby: Some options are available for temporary day parking spots nearby, for example with the following companies: Green P Parking, Spot Hero.
Temporary on-street permit parking in Toronto: Provided space is available, a temporary parking permit may be purchased by residents and their guests to park a motor vehicle on a street designated under the permit parking program of the city of Toronto. This program generally services those residential areas where driveways are not common. If you choose this option, please avoid parking on Crawford St. if possible. You may get a ticket as it is complaint driven and the residents have limited space for their own street parking on Crawford St.
