Being completely at peace with ourself – how wonderful that would be! Unfortunately, however, many of us are at war with ourselves - we often are our own harshest critics… So how can we turn this around and make peace? How can we accept our faults and still grow beyond them? How can we deal with missteps without sinking into guilt and self-hatred? And how can we have joy in life, even when we ourselves and the world are a mess? And for the Buddhists among us: how can we get a handle on discouragement and give our meditation practice fresh momentum?
In the Buddhist tradition, we find profound explanations and practical meditations that help us deal with these issues: we learn to see ourselves and our lives in a new light, thereby calming down our inner critic. We learn what it really means to be good to ourselves. And we learn what steps we can take to fulfill our innate potential for inner peace and happiness.
All classes are drop-in classes. They are suitable for beginners and also offer plenty of inspiration for people who wish to deepen their understanding of meditation and/or Buddhist practice. No need for special clothing, come as you are.
