Drop-in classes

Simple, practical methods to improve the quality of our life and develop inner peace. Each class consists of two guided meditations and a teaching to help us solve our daily problems, let go of negative minds and discover happiness within our own mind.


Mondays • 6:45-8:00pm

Transform your mind, transform your life: learning the skills for a happy life
We always wish for peace and happiness and for freedom from difficulties and suffering, so why are we not constantly experiencing this on a daily basis? Perhaps, we can start to investigate if our views and intentions in life are fulfilling our wish for happiness and freedom.

In this series, be inspired by Buddha’s teachings (based on the book Transform your Life by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso) to learn about your mind and about views and intentions which lead to lasting happiness and others which lead to suffering. Revisiting your own ways and contemplating new ways of perceiving and interacting in the world will make our human life truly meaningful
