The Healing Power of Meditation
In this course we will look at ways of developing a general sense of well-being through examining and changing the minds that give rise stress and ill-health. Through learning to identify these harmful minds we can begin to replace them with those that bring health and happiness – and change our whole way of life for the better.

Matters of Life and Death
We are alive, therefore we will die. This is a simple undeniable truth – but what do we know about death and dying - and have we really come to terms with it? This course will help us to become aware of our own and others' mortality in a way tha will enrich and transform our life without fear.

Understanding Emptiness
All our problems and suffering arise because we do not understand how things truly exist – we are constantly fooled by appearances - like a traveler in the desert exhausting ourselves running after mirages. Understanding emptiness will release us from this confusion and solve all our problems permanently.

Freedom From Painful Emotions
Buddhist teachings explain that our suffering comes from uncontrolled and painful states of mind known as delusions. Each week we will focus on how to overcome a particular delusion, such as loneliness, anger, pride, miserliness, and low self-esteem. Learning practical methods to reduce the power of this inner negativity will allow us to experience a deep and satisfying emotional freedom, and give us the skill to be the person we wish to be - positive, joyful, confident and loving.
