“The only difference between meditation and the ordinary, everyday process of thinking, feeling, and sensation is the application of the simple, bare awareness that occurs when you allow your mind to rest simply as it is—without chasing after thoughts or becoming distracted by feelings or sensations.” — Mingyur Rinpoche
Many of us are currently facing unprecedented challenges in our lives. Meditation can provide us with the tools necessary to recognize our innate potential and increase our well-being, regardless of circumstance. The key here is understanding what meditation actually means. Meditation goes beyond the serene or blissed-out mindfulness presented in pop-culture. It is not a zombie-like state that is free from thought and emotion, either. As elucidated by Mingyur Rinpoche, meditation is a process of discovery — a path of realising the inherent potential that exists within each of us. During this event, you will explore the core elements of meditation, including awareness, compassion, and wisdom. Join us and discover your true potential.
Why should I attend?
Can meditation help us to cope with challenging emotions that arise in response to these unprecedented times? The British Journal of Clinical Psychology says the benefits of meditation include “robust and substantial reductions in symptoms of anxiety.” In this program with Mingyur Rinpoche, a meditation master known for his humour, intelligence, and kindness, you will learn how to use meditation to be able to relate to the multitude of challenges we face today in a more constructive way. Mingyur Rinpoche will explain how these meditation techniques transformed his own life, helping him to overcome a childhood panic disorder, and how they can similarly help you!

What meditation actually is
The basic techniques of meditation
The first steps of inner transformation
Ways to understand how the mind works
