New Beginnings - How to Meditate.
Wednesday 5, 12, 19 Feb
Do you feel over-stimulated by the modern world and way of life? Is your phone rarely out of your hand? We all know how we feel when we have lost hours to tech-based distraction, but do we recognize that it is also draining us of the energy to live with clarity and focus?
Instead of sinking into a habitual love of ease and distraction, now is the time to take back control of our mind.
On this course we will:
• Learn to set up a daily meditation practice for a happy life
• Learn to develop stable self-esteem
• Understand how to energize and uplift the mind

Finding Joy Within: Meditation in a Busy Life.
Public Talk with Gen Kelsang Rabten
Ballarat | Wed 29 Jan
Whether we’re looking for ways to manage stress or to grow emotionally and spiritually, meditation can help us bring more calm and joy into our lives. However, while many of us feel we could benefit from meditation, we often find it challenging to set aside time or go as deeply into it as we’d like.
In this public talk, Buddhist monk Gen Kelsang Rabten will share simple and practical ways to start meditating and make the most of the moments we have, helping us keep our minds peaceful, controlled, and joyful all day long.
