Daily Rituals for Inner Peace.

Wednesday 13, 20, 27 Nov | 4, 11 Dec

What if our existing daily routine could be transformed into a meditative experience? Every day we eat, wash, dress ourselves and perform many other seemingly mundane activities - all of which can be turned into daily rituals for inner peace. 

During this course we'll explore how the things we already do everyday can become powerfully nourishing and restorative parts of our spiritual life.

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.
