Big sky mind – Meditations on the clarity of our mind
Half-Day Course with Gen Kelsang Dragpa
Join us for our wonderful relaxing Big Sky Mind: Meditations on the clarity of our mind course with Gen Dragpa
Explore the vast, flexible nature of your mind and experience a new level of freedom and well-being.
In our busy lives, it can be hard to believe that we have the potential for mental clarity and deep inner peace. With so many worries and distractions, we can get used to a background hum of anxiety and tension most of the time. The best way to get in touch with our profound potential for inner peace and clarity is to meditate on the mind itself. In a warm and supportive group setting, step away from the busyness of everyday life and give your mind the chance to settle and recharge.
With regular practice, this meditation will completely transform your life. In this half day meditation course Gen Dragpa will explain the process and guide the meditations, giving you the opportunity to discover a deep happiness and contentment in your own heart.
Everybody welcome. Suitable for all levels of experience.
Please note: This course is taught in English
