Thursday Drop-in Meditation Class @ KMCC

Finding Strength In Uncertain Times

A Practical Six-Week Meditation Course
for Everyday Life

How can we stay positive in a world filled with uncertainty, turmoil, and constant change? In these meditation classes, we will learn Buddhist meditations that enable us to transform the challenges and pain we encounter - both around us and within us - into opportunities for personal growth and spiritual development. As a result, we will cultivate qualities such as compassion and wisdom, while building the inner resilience necessary to face life’s daily challenges with courage and clarity.

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 feel free to drop-in when you can!  Each class will be followed by complimentary refreshments and the opportunity to ask questions. Everybody welcome!

Class dates & topics:

May 8: Letting Go of Anxiety in Uncertain Times

May 15: Finding Peace With Daily Challenges

May 22: Understanding Why We Experience Adversity

May 29:Transforming Adversity Into Growth

June 5: Developing Inner Resilience

June 12: The Power of Positive Thoughts

  • Each class is self-contained, so you are welcome to join at any point.

    Our classes begin with a brief introduction, followed by an initial guided meditation to settle the mind and create a feeling of inner peace. This is followed by a talk on an aspect of meditation practice related to the series topic, and concludes with a guided meditation related to the talk.

    After each class, we invite you to join us in our community room for complimentary refreshments and an opportunity to ask questions.

    You do not need to be a Buddhist to attend, and no previous experience with meditation is required.

    Everybody is welcome!

  • These classes are held in the peaceful, spacious and comfortable meditation room at Kadampa Meditation Centre Canada. We also have many books and other meditation materials available at our Temple shop which can help you deepen your understanding of the meditation experience through further study.
