HEALTHY MIND, HEALTHY LIFE
finding Peace; breath by breath
A 4 WEEK SERIES WITH CHAMMY SIRISENA
PEEBLES | JULY 1, 8, 15 & 22| TUESDAYS 7-8.15PM
In this calming and practical three-week course, discover how every breath can become a pathway to peace, clarity, and spiritual strength. Rooted in the wisdom of Kadampa Buddhism and the teachings of Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, this series explores how we can use the breath not just to relax, but to transform our mind and our experience of daily life.
Each class includes guided meditation, Buddhist teachings, and discussion. Through simple yet profound techniques, we’ll learn how to settle the mind, respond wisely to life’s challenges, and use every breath to purify negativity and draw closer to our pure potential. Whether you’re a beginner or already meditate regularly, this course offers timeless tools for living with more stillness, strength, and joy.
By the end of the course, you’ll know how to use your breath as a constant companion for inner peace — not only during meditation, but moment to moment in daily life.
