Meditation: Embracing Changes and Challenges in our Lives

With Susan Browne & Katie O’Connell

We all experience unwanted circumstances at some point in our lives. Through the practice of mindfulness and meditation we come to know our own mind and learn to be at ease with whatever we encounter. We can also learn to embrace change and challenges with compassion, both for ourselves and for others. When we contemplate on how everything is constantly changing we can experience a lot more ease in our lives, and can even learn to maintain a state of well-being when life becomes more difficult. This day will introduce skillful ways of applying mindfulness and meditation in our daily lives, assisting us in developing emotional balance and resilience, and helping us to embrace these changes and challenges.

Cost: €70 (includes Tea/Coffee & Light Lunch)
