How often can overthinking lead to stress and anxiety? Yet it can seem a hard cycle to break free from.

Fortunately, there are simple and effective meditation techniques you can learn to prevent overthinking and instead develop greater inner peace, calm and mental space.

In this half day meditation workshop, Resident Teacher and Buddhist nun Gen Zoma will help you to discover what you need to do to dispel the build up of stressful thoughts caused by overthinking things in your life.

By applying some relatively simple meditation techniques, you will discover an experience of spaciousness in the mind, giving you clarity, calm and an ability to move forward in your life with freedom and ease.

You’ll learn to:

💟Calm your mind down, meditate and focus
💟Let go of negative thoughts and feelings
💟Relax, find inner clarity, space and feel peaceful

Celebrating the artistic talent and devotion to making beautful offerings, in the community and all the hard work that went into setting up this incredible shrine for our Dorje Shugden empowerment weekend.

This tooks months of preparation, from planning the shirne to wrapping all the individual items, making the special torma offerings out of marzipan and there were even hand made candles made especially for this empowerment.

Well done team!

Wow! What an incredible Dorje Shudgen empowerment we had at the Centre yesterday with Resident Teacher Gen Zoma.

A day of powerful blessings which makes your mind feel deeply peaceful and calm. We also had teachings on the beautiful practice of Heart Jewel and had the opportunity to practice it all together in the last session of the day.

The team were incredible from setting up the beautiful shrine, to welcoming and registering people to making sure everyone was served with tea and cake in the breaks.

Thanks to the team for making it all happen and to all those who attended. Today we are now getting guided meditations on Heart Jewl and will end our day with Wishfulfilling Jewel with Tsog puja.

Our Wednesday evening classes with Resident Teacher starts next week! It's all about love and loss.

Have you found the loss of a loved one, or the ending of a relationship hard to bear? Has this loss made you feel more fearful of loving again?

If you find it hard to accept and let go of guilt or resentment when things in life change, you may end up feeling devastated – as if you can never return to the way you were.

At some stage you will have to deal with loss, if you don’t have methods to deal with changing events in life, the effect of such painful events can dominate your life for years.

In this short course, Gen Zoma will explain methods to deal with the inevitability of change and loss in life. Buddha’s wisdom can help you to learn to let go and move forward in a more meaningful way. Understanding how to accept loss, change, death and embrace the wisdom of love transforms the way to live life.

Everyone is welcome.

You’ll learn to:

❇️Accept inevitable change with peace
❇️Become more resilient with what can’t be changed
❇️Love again without attachment
