Think Better, Feel Better

A Practical Six-Week Meditation Course
for Everyday Life

A powerful truth to understand is that our thoughts shape our world. They influence how we feel, how we experience ourselves and others, and ultimately how we navigate life.  By learning to think in healthier ways, we can naturally begin to feel better - gaining the inner strength to handle daily challenges and the ability to support those around us with greater understanding and compassion.

These classes include two guided meditations and a practical talk on a weekly topic. After each class, there is time for Q&A.

Each class is self-contained, so you are welcome to join at any time. No previous experience is required. We require booking in advance, as our classes are often fully attended.

You do not need to bring anything with you, and the meditation is conducted on chairs (though you are welcome to bring a cushion if you prefer).

The classes are held in the peaceful, friendly, and comfortable surroundings of the Carrot Common - Room 212 Meeting Space.

I've been to five workshops at this centre over the last year and it's completely revolutionized my meditation practice. I'm super grateful to have stumbled across them and recommend them every chance I get. Thanks!

Every time I join a workshop, I go home with valuable lessons that I can live by in daily life. The teachings are logical and cleaned my negativity significantly.

— Sara

I apply many of the teachings in everything I do in my daily life and I can say I am a much happier person and lead a much lighter life. This is my personal experience. I hope that if you get a chance to try them out they’ll be helpful in some way to you as well.
