MEDITATION COURSE
SATURDAY 7 decemBER | 2 - 5PM
with KEVIN THOMSON
This ancient meditative practice is the best way to transform all types of difficulty such as pain, illness, and anxiety into an opportunity to strengthen our inner peace, love and compassion. Taking and giving is a beautiful, profound method to transform our problems and the sufferings in this world into the very means for experiencing love, joy, compassion and wisdom. This practice brings mental peace and happiness, increasing our spiritual strength and capacity to overcome challenges while developing the supreme good heart of a Bodhisattva.
On this afternoon course will explore practical ways to use the meditations on imagining taking on the suffering of others and giving love to others. We can apply this when we are suffering, or when others we care about are suffering. We can apply this in meditation and daily life. This course is suitable for everyone, regardless of experience.
This course will be taught by local teacher Kevin Thomson. If you’ve been to one of Kevin’s classes before, you will know how accessible and inspiring his teachings are!
With talks, guided meditations, discussion and Q&A. No experience necessary, everybody welcome!
