Meditation class: Practical Tools to Outsmart Stress with Gen Kelsang Dragpa
Start the new year learning to overcome the greatest source of our unhappiness, our stress and anxiety. Perhaps we recently have had a break, nice! Perhaps for a little while we were relatively stress free and anxiety free, but as soon as we get busy, it all comes back. How do we put in place the solutions to finally rid ourself of this thorn in our side that makes our mind unpeaceful and unhappy?
