The Keys to a Successful Meditation Practice
This class is offered in person only
$15 per class, free for supporting members
The purpose of meditation is to familiarize our mind with the insights and aspirations that naturally produce happiness. If we do this regularly, those peaceful and happiness-inducing states of mind, such as love, compassion, and wisdom, naturally spill over into our life. We become more confident and joyful in ourselves, more skillful at dealing with adversity, and more beneficial to others. Indeed, we begin to experience our life as something magical, imbued with great meaning and purpose, and we begin to get a taste of our mind’s boundless potential.
In this series Kadam Morten will explain the essential components of successful meditation practice, and help us to gain experience of them through guided meditations. This will allow us to establish a practice according to our own level and personal situation, so that we come to enjoy the life-transforming benefits of meditation.
Everyone welcome!

The Power to Change in 2024
Forget Willpower Try Wisdom
Who we are very much depends on who we think we are. So who will you be in 2024? 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 advanced Tantric practitioners.
