Finding Happiness Where You Are
Meditation Workshop
In Person @ Burnley KBC & Livestream
Saturday 20 August, 10am – 1pm
(available for 48 hours after on catch up)
Happiness is a state of mind, and so true happiness can only be found within our own mind. Learn to create a deep, lasting joy and contentment that comes from a positive, balanced and light mind – without needing to change your external circumstances.
What do we think we need to be happy? Where do we think our happiness lies? We tend to search for happiness outside ourselves, spending so much energy trying to arrange everything perfectly – hoping that this will make us truly happy.
Happiness and suffering only exist within the mind, and so their origins cannot be found outside the mind. In order to really achieve permanent happiness and freedom from all suffering, we must first achieve peace in our own minds. During this workshop we will explore meditations that enable us to access and maintain inner peace and joy, even when experiencing difficulties in our life.
Our workshops are a perfect way to both relax and develop internally. They are ideal for those who are new to meditation and those who would like to improve.
Refreshments are available in our World Peace Café during the workshop.
The cost of the Workshop is £15 (GP Centre Card £5, FP member £0).
