Thursday Drop-in Meditation Class @ KMCC

Think Better, Feel Better

6-Week Series of Thursday Evening Classes

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 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:

March 20th ~ Getting to Know Your Mind

March 27th ~ How Thoughts Shape Your World

April 3rd ~ ⁠Think Better, Feel Better

April 10th ~ How Negative Thoughts Take Hold

April 17th ~ Breaking Free from Negative Thought Patterns

April 24th ~ Staying Peaceful in Challenging Situations

Through the transformative practice of meditation, we can calm our mind and develop positive thoughts, leading to healthier emotions and a more peaceful, resilient mind.

  • 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.
