The Power of Positivity Half Day Retreat – Aug 14
Learn to transform your mental state from negative to positive through meditation.
Negative thinking can be a strong habit which brings us down and prevents us from living a happy, fulfilling life.
In this course we will explore the power of our mind to change our experience of life. If we catch a negative train of thought early on we can avert it and instead focus on more beneficial views and states of mind. In this way we gain the ability to stay happy, positive and resilient even in the face of life’s challenges.
In this way we can solve many of our problems and create causes for lasting peace & happiness.
Discover through the practical timeless wisdom of Buddhist meditation how to apply positive thinking to your own life right now. Open to all levels of experience.

"I am finding the Simply Meditate classes this week extremely meaningful. This morning I concentrated on all the people I have had disagreements with and I realised how destructive my delusions have been in the past. I hope that I have reached a point were I will never give in so strongly to this anger again. I fell so fortunate to have Kadampa Dharma in my life

"Learnt from this evening's class on impermanence that you can enjoy something that you know will be impermanent, e.g. a rainbow, because you know it will disappear. This can be applied to all manner of situation"

Class participant
"Good morning and thank you once again for some wonderful, life enhancing tutoring Gen Kelsang Gen Kelsang Tubchen. After yesterday’s class I made a sincere effort to unblock my heart and to try to start developing genuine equanimity. So far I found this uplifting and genuinely liberating. I am thinking less about why people act as they do and letting so much go from my mind. A little effort does help and I hope I can continue to develop with today’s class. 🤗"
