Buddha Vajrasattva is the embodiment of the pure consciousness of all
enlightened beings. This empowerment is a blessing ritual and guided
meditation through which we make a deep connection with Vajrasattva, who can inspire and guide us to actualize our full spiritual potential. In the afternoon we will learn about the purification practice of Vajrasattva. This skillful and creative practice allows us to connect with the natural potential in our mind, to heal the wounds of the past, and to free ourselves from old and painful habits of thinking and acting. We are then free to live a life based on wisdom and love, with a crystal clear mind and a joyful heart.

Illness often arrives uninvited, disrupting our lives and plans. Yet within its difficulty lies a profound opportunity for awakening. This course invites participants to explore illness—not as a detour from the spiritual path, but as part of the path itself.

Through teachings, guided reflections, and shared inquiry, we’ll examine how physical and mental suffering can open the heart, deepen compassion, and reveal the impermanence and interconnection at the core of spiritual life. We’ll engage illness as a teacher—one that strips away illusion, humbles the ego, and brings us closer to truth.

Whether you’re navigating illness personally, supporting others in their healing, or simply wish to prepare your heart for what life inevitably brings, this course offers a space for transformation and meaning.

Everyone welcome.

In every moment we are at a crossroads — we can choose virtue or non-virtue. Each is a pathway that takes us in a direction — either towards happiness or towards suffering. Buddha gave very clear instructions on how to always make the wise choice that will lead to freedom and joy for ourselves and others.

When the turbulence of distracting thoughts subsides and our mind becomes still, a deep happiness and contentment naturally arises from within.

The meditation on the clarity of the mind is one of the best and most powerful methods to facilitate this shift - allowing us to easily let go of busyness and distraction and to access an experience of mental peace and calm.

In this special weekly series, we will learn step-by-step how to meditate on the nature of the mind - a state of inner clarity that naturally restores our well being and reveals our unlimited potential for growth and development.

Find the missing peace and discover your true self - or ‘Buddha Nature’ - through this simple, yet profound meditation.
