Meditation & the Joy of
Letting Go
6-Week Series with Resident Teacher, Gen Kelsang Chodor
Do you ever find yourself stuck in cycles of negative thinking, even when you want to let them go? In these meditation classes, we'll discover practical techniques to let go of negative minds and break free from self-limiting thoughts. These methods will empower us to cultivate an inner space of clarity and happiness, helping us become a more positive, confident, and resilient person.
Each session includes two guided meditations and a practical talk on a weekly topic, followed by time for Q&A.
These classes are held in the peaceful, spacious, quiet and comfortable meditation room at Kadampa Meditation Centre Canada. Each class is self-contained, so you are welcome to join at any point. Each class will be followed by complimentary refreshments and the opportunity to ask questions.
We also have many books and materials available at our Temple shop to help people deepen their learning and experience through further reading.
No previous experience of meditation is required. Everybody welcome!
