If Only I’d Known That Years Ago!

Wednesdays, 6.30pm-7.45pm

September 2, 9, 16, 23, 30 and October 7


If Only I’d Known That Years Ago!

“If only I’d known that years ago!”….. we’ve all heard it or said it. It is a phrase which highlights the value of learning from experience and wishing we’d understood important lessons sooner.

But actually we can be positive about this and recognise that no matter how old we are or whatever choices we have made in the past, we can always learn now and live in a new and more beneficial way.

In these classes we will look at a wide range of teachings and learn insights into life and ourselves. We will explore themes and meditations on compassion, wisdom and a focused mind to build an insightful approach to life. These teachings and meditations can be used by anyone to find peace of mind, lasting happiness and heartfelt joy. We all likely wish we had known these things years ago!

These classes are suitable for everyone, and no previous experience is needed. You can start coming to classes at any time and can attend as many sessions as you wish. Each class is self-contained. Everyone is welcome.

In this series of classes, the benefits of following a true path through the inspiration of a reliable guide will be explained, and how by engaging in positive thoughts, speech and actions will bring us to pure happiness – guaranteed!

The Good Life – Made Even Better

Wednesdays, 6.30pm-7.45pm

November 11, 25


The Good Life – Made Even Better

We are fortunate in so many ways to live in the comfort of modern times but despite the progress we’ve made in the world, it often fails to bring us the happiness and trouble-free joy we desire. However, we can look beyond our everyday life, the places we go, the people we know, the pleasures we enjoy without giving them up, and “upgrade” our lives by looking inwards rather than going to things outside of us to make life work. Let’s make the good life even better!

In these classes we will discover the ways in which we can pursue training our mind to enhance our experiences and relationships no matter our circumstances, freeing us to be able to accept more, put effort into creating lasting happiness and focus on a truly meaningful, better life.

These classes are suitable for everyone, and no previous experience is needed. You can start coming to classes at any time and can attend as many sessions as you wish. Each class is self-contained. Everyone is welcome.
