“When our mind is peaceful, we are free from worries and mental discomfort, and so we experience true happiness.” — Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
Life often brings moments of tension, disagreement, or inner turmoil. When our minds are caught up in conflict—whether with others or ourselves—it can be difficult to find peace and clarity.
In this half-day retreat Kadam Ai Peng will explore practical Buddhist meditation techniques to help you transform inner and outer conflict into calm, clarity, and understanding.
This retreat offers practical tools to bring more balance and serenity into your daily life, leaving you refreshed, centred, and able to respond with calm rather than frustration.
You will learn how to:
- Identify the roots of impatience and frustration
- Discover practical tools to stay calm when things go wrong
- Build inner stability for the busy months ahead
Led by Kadam Ai Peng McBretney, our Resident Teacher. Includes teachings and guided meditation, with time for Q&A.
Suitable for everyone, including complete beginners.
