A Heart Full of Happiness

Sun 20 July | 10.30am – 1.30pm

True happiness comes from within—and through meditation, we can learn how to tap into that inner source of joy. In this inspiring half-day retreat, you’ll be guided through gentle meditations that open the heart and cultivate lasting happiness, regardless of life’s ups and downs.

Held in our serene and tranquil meditation room, the retreat offers the perfect environment to relax, reflect, and nourish your mind. Between sessions, enjoy peaceful breaks in our cozy café space – an ideal spot to unwind with a hot drink, connect with others, or simply soak in the quiet atmosphere.

Open to everyone, this retreat is a joyful opportunity to experience deeper contentment and leave with a heart full of happiness.

This course will be based on extracts from How to Transform Your Life Geshe Kelsang Gyatso and our Meditations for Relaxation & Meditations for a Kind Heart Meditations.
