In today’s society, its increasingly common that feelings of anxiety, worry and sometimes fear plague our everyday lives and that feelings of insecurity and lacking confidence hold us back from fulfilling our potential. Consequently we never really feel at ease in ourselves, fully present for our interactions with others, and life can feel overwhelming. Practising meditation and Buddhist teachings has the transformation power to help us step out of this experience.

In this weekend retreat, we will have the space and time to be guided with Buddha’s wisdom to understand the causes of anxiety and fear. Then we will learn and train in pactical techniques, that we can apply in daily life, and be able to reconnect with our own peaceful heart, and to live a joyful, relaxed and meaningful life.

Guiding the sessions will be Buddhist nun and Guest Teacher Gen Varahi, a student of Buddhist master Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche, she can offer gentle guidance and the clear wisdom of ancient Buddhist practice in a way that’s suitable for everyone of any age, background or belief. Know for the clarity and strength of her teaching, as well as her kind an caring nature this rare guest visit from Gen Varahi is not to be missed.
