How to Let Go of Insecurity
Many people think ‘I am an insecure person’ and everybody feels insecure from time to time. This insecurity undermines our happiness, our ability to be effective, and prevents us from being the confident, relaxed and beneficial person we all long to be.
Although we may have the habit of identifying ourself as insecure, no one is actually insecure by nature. In this series we will explain how we can begin to connect to the underlying happiness and confidence that is our actual nature, and he will guide a meditation taking us into the experience of this peaceful and relaxed mind. It is this experience that will enable us to begin to let go of our mistaken insecurity and eventually be free of it altogether.
November 23: How to Let Go of Insecurity
November 30: Developing the Basis for Authentic Confidence
December 7: Understanding our Potential
December 14: Freedom from Being Self Conscious
December 21: The Freedom to be Both Confident and Kind

The Power to Change in 2026: Forget Willpower, Try Wisdom
Who we are very much depends on who we think we are. So who will you be in 2026? We change every day in dependence upon our thoughts – but usually without choice, which is why we experience so many problems. Through learning Buddha’s practical insights into who we really are and who we can be, we can harness a natural process of self-transformation and make it work in our favor. Instead of pushing or struggling with ourselves, trying to change through willpower alone, we can make real, sustained, and smooth change from the inside out with wisdom, and in the process, experience deeper and deeper levels of joy and fulfillment. These classes will contain game-changing advice on meditation for everyone from complete beginners to seasoned meditators.
