Meditation for Daily Life

NEXT CLASS 22 OCT

Our Meditation for Daily Life series provides practical advice on how everyone can learn to meditate. For beginners it will offer guidelines on how to begin a daily meditation practice. This series will also allow those with previous experience develop and deepen their existing practice. We will learn meditations to relax body and mind and achieve inner peace and mental clarity. Through this experience, we will develop an inner resilience in the face of life’s challenges and a kind and patient attitude towards others.

This series also consists of advice on how to integrate our meditation into our busy daily life. We will explore how meditation is not confined to our meditation session; it can permeate our whole life. Seeing how our meditation practice effects our external activities, which in turn affect our meditation, we can learn to create a positive cycle without any gap between meditation and daily life.

This Thursday evening class is a perfect opportunity to pause, meditate and refresh midweek. Everybody is welcome.

Finding The Joy, In Everyday Life

Note: New weekly topics for this popular series start on October 18th.

Whether life feels good right now, or you’re going through a more challenging time, there’s always the possibility of experiencing more peace, connection and genuine happiness in our everyday lives.

Drop in any Sunday morning for these new topics in this popular series of guided meditations and practical wisdom with Kadam Adam, exploring how we can make that possibility a reality.

Drawing on practices people have used for centuries, we’ll explore how to feel more grounded and present, deepen our connection with others, navigate difficult days with greater resilience, and find more happiness in the seemingly ordinary moments of life.

Because everyday life doesn’t have to feel mundane. Even when life is busy, uncertain or difficult, we can learn to experience it differently and rediscover a sense of peace, meaning and joy along the way.
