Class Topics
Clarity: stillness within – Week of 29 March to week of 26 April 5 weeks
We can completely change our experience of life by learning how our mind works. Dive into the silence and clarity of your own mind and experience the tranquillity of the mind’s pure nature.
Dealing with Change and Uncertainty – week of 3 May to week of 24 May 4 weeks
Times of change and uncertainty can be unsettling, but they also can become transformative. Rather than feeling anxious or sad we can learn to feel at peace with change and feel inspired by the endless possibility that it offers.
Understanding Karma – week of 31 May to week of 21 June 4 weeks
Due to our misunderstanding of karma, we create problems and suffering for ourselves and destroy our own happiness. By purifying our mind and engaging in pure actions, we come to abide in a pure world.
