FREE - Bodhi Talk | Learn to Meditate: Dealing with Stress
Saturday 18 April, 7:00-9:00pm
In Person
Life is stressful. Money, family, children, work, the environment. No matter where we turn, we find another reason to stress out.
At bodhi, we explore a different way of dealing with stress; one that can have a more lasting and transformative effect on your life. We start by asking ourselves: what really is the root of our stress? What role does our own mind play in the stress we are experiencing?

Join us for this 8-week course as we learn how to settle the mind, and how to discover a sense of natural peace and relaxation.We will learn how to meditate, and experience how it can transform the way we see ourselves and our life, and lead us to a more lasting sense of peace and contentment.
