Discovering the Wonder of the Mind

Our mind is our greatest natural resource. It is the creator of our entire experience and therefore the key determining factor in whether we are happy or unhappy. And it naturally possesses the potential for vast and lasting happiness and freedom, as well as limitless love, compassion and wisdom. But all too often we fail to recognize the mind for the wonder that it is. We see our mind as limited and relate to it as something fixed and stuck and consequently often feel trapped in painful states of mind.

In this half-day course, Alex will explain and guide us into the beautiful meditation known as ‘the clarity of the mind.’ Gaining experience in this peaceful meditation is truly life-altering. It gives us an experiential understanding of how our mind creates our reality, and that our reality is much more flexible than we generally realize. Recognizing this empowers us to begin bringing about real change within ourselves with great confidence and joy. Join us for this half-day course in which we can go deeper into our understanding of these teachings and how we can bring about profound transformation through understanding the nature of the mind.
