Aware in each moment: February 2nd — 23rd
Gaining deep understanding of the mind's habits is the key to inner peace. Learn the wisdom of mindfulness and gain the ability to overcome negative states of mind; replacing them with powerful, positive thoughts.

Cutting through mental noise: March 9th — 30th
Developing the mind's natural power to concentrate will unlock our potential for tranquillity, clarity and focus. Get used to thinking positively!

Accepting what is: April 13th — May 18th
Anger is a natural, yet harmful, response to the frustration of our wishes. Through these classes we can learn to control our anger by becoming truly patient - learning to look positively at our life even when it appears to be going wrong and making peace with ourself and others.

Confidence and joy: June 8th — July 13th
Buddha's teachings contain beautiful advice on ways to develop a supreme confidence and limitless joy. Through developing these inner qualities we can find protection from our daily problems and difficulties.

A Generous Heart: September 7th — October 19th
A truly generous heart brings happiness, harmony and fulfilment; yet often we feel unable to give, or afraid to. Learn how to gradually open your heart and appreciate the joy that this brings.

Ancient Wisdom, Modern World: November 2nd — December 7th
Although Buddha lived 2,500 years ago, the wisdom of his teachings shines a light on the problems of our modern world. Discover how you can apply this ancient wisdom to your own life and find great meaning in every moment.
