Healing Anxiety with Wisdom (Galway)

This meditation course explores how anxiety arises in the mind and how it can be gently healed through the wisdom and meditation practices of the New Kadampa Tradition. Rather than trying to suppress or escape anxious thoughts and feelings, we will learn to understand them clearly, relate to them wisely, and respond with inner stability and compassion.

Through guided meditations, teachings, and practical reflection, participants will learn how to calm the mind, recognise unhelpful mental habits, and cultivate peaceful states that naturally reduce anxiety. The course emphasises simple, accessible methods that can be used in everyday life, helping us build lasting inner confidence and emotional resilience.
