Letting go of the Past

Sun 16 November | 10.30am – 1.30pm

A meditation course to learn how to dissolve harmful memories

Sometimes a good friend might tell us it’s time to move on in life. We know it – but we can’t. We feel stuck. Something is holding us back.

It can even feel wrong to move on: from a loss, from a past relationship, from being hurt or damaged, from something we did wrong, from painful memories or guilt. It feels we are chained to the past rather than looking forward to our future.

At other times it is us giving the advice but it falls on deaf ears because we don’t know how to do it ourselves.

In this course we can learn, through Buddhist teachings and meditation, how to free ourselves from incorrect and undeserving ways of looking at our own past. It will show us how to move forward in a way which is realistic and more forgiving of ourselves and others.

Everyone is welcome. No experience necessary.
