We all want to be happy.

Often the relentless pace and challenges of life make it impossible to know where to look for happiness. 

Join us for this 8-week course as we learn how to settle the mind, and how to discover a sense of natural peace and relaxation.We will learn how to meditate, and experience how it can transform the way we see ourselves and our life, and lead us to a more lasting sense of peace and contentment.  Most importantly, we start learning how to be with our mind and live our life in a way that creates less stress and confusion - and more presence, peace, happiness and stability.

Sounds too good to be true?

Join us this May as we explore the foundations of meditation, and give space to pause, reflect and draw from our own personal experience and lives.
