LETTING GO OF ANGER 😠 | Saturday August 23, 10am - 1pm

Meditation is a powerful tool to help us to let go of things that we hold on to so tightly. In this workshop, you’ll learn techniques to help you find peace and work on cultivating a positive mindset, no matter how challenging the situation may be.

These practices will help you develop a deep understanding of how patience will help you free your mind from painful feelings and emotions.

“By learning to accept the small difficulties and hardships that arise every day in the course of our lives, gradually our capacity for patient acceptance will increase and we shall come to know for ourself the freedom and joy that true patience brings.”

Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
