Each class contains a talk, guided meditation, discussion and Q and A. Suitable for everyone – no experience necessary. There’s no limit on happiness, but too often our habitual ways of thinking can block our potential to be happier. This practical Buddhist meditation course will offer key habits of happy people. We’ll explore several meditations and ways of thinking that uplift the mind, and how to carry these with mindfulness into our day so we can maintain a light, joyful attitude whatever life throws our way. Everyone is welcome. Drop in for one class or sign up for the the whole series. No previous experience necessary. Everyone is welcome. Just drop in.
