About the Half Day Course
Choosing to be grateful is choosing to be happy! We are often so focused on what we don’t have, we forget to appreciate and feel grateful for what we already have. Discover for yourself the positive energy and joy that comes from choosing gratitude.
Suitable for beginners. Everybody is welcome.

She has been ordained under Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche for over 20 years and has dedicated her life to studying and practicing his instructions and helping people solve their problems through Buddha’s timeless instructions.
