Event Description
This series of talks invites you to discover and cultivate the wisdom and compassion at the heart of meditation.
Through the lens of Buddhist philosophy, we will contemplate and reflect on the paradoxes of the human condition, exploring ways to work with the mind and transcend its limitations.
This interactive process can be followed as a course or attended session by session and is recommended for open-minded individuals.
The Courage to be Free (6th January-17th February)
The impact of certain aspirations on our daily lives may seem surprising. As we start the new year, we have a lot of resolutions to choose from. And among them we will discuss and explore this particular intention: The courage to be free.
What is the essence of freedom?
By studying what freedom really means through the prism of Buddhist philosophy, we can open up infinite possibilities for the benefit of ourselves and others.
The Life of the Buddha (3rd March - 14th April)
The Buddha's life is the story of an ordinary man who became extraordinary.
What was the message of his life, and why does it matter today?
We will explore how analytical thinking and trust can coexist in harmony.
- Duration: 60 mins
- Online Zoom event: Join from your computer, phone or tablet (a recording will be available)
