How to Transform your Life
A blissful journey
Sunday morning weekly class
Every living being has the same basic wish – to be happy and to avoid suffering. Happiness and suffering do not exist outside of our mind. They are feelings, which are parts of our mind. If we want to experience real lasting happiness and be free from suffering, we must learn to develop and maintain an experience of inner peace.
These classes give easy-to-follow methods to fulfil this deepest of wishes. Through practising the meditations and special methods explained, we can bring about positive changes in our lives that will enable us to experience the deep and lasting happiness we all long for.
Although taught as a series, each class is self-contained and can be attended individually. Each class will be followed by complimentary refreshments and the opportunity to ask questions. Everyone is welcome!
