SUMMARY:Friday Night Public Talk: Anchored in Peace
DESCRIPTION:A public talk on meditation with Kadam Lucy James \nSo many of us these days suffer from anxiety\, fear\, and even hopelessness. In the face of so much bad daily news\, and all our own personal uncertainties\, is it actually possible to let go of these painful emotions and cultivate inner calm instead? \nAccording to Buddha\, yes\, it is! \nIn this highly anticipated meditation event\, through a talk and guided meditation\, Kadam Lucy will help us to establish a peaceful place in our mind\, a place of inner refuge. Through this we will start not only to release our painful or disturbed thoughts and emotions\, but also to respond confidently and creatively to situations that normally make us anxious. We will see how we can live fearlessly and with joy\, and also be of real benefit to others\, especially when surrounded by challenging situations. \nThis talk is standalone but will also serve as a perfect foundation for the weekend talks and meditations.

SUMMARY:Breaking the Karma Code
DESCRIPTION:Understanding karma is a profound catalyst for transforming our lives and our futures\, especially when we see how it ties in with the dream-like nature of our reality. In this weekend course\, through inspiring talks and guided meditations\, we’ll have a chance to explore the inner law of cause and effect that shapes all of our experiences. Through this we can learn how to align our thoughts\, words\, and actions with our deepest aspirations for happiness and freedom. \nWe will also explore how it is that we create our world with our intentions or karma\, and how our reality does not exist from its own side but is mere karmic appearance of mind. Whether you’re new to these timeless Buddhist principles\, or seeking to learn more\, please join us. \nSchedule \nSaturday\, Mar 8th \nSession 1: 10-11:15am\nSession 2: 11:45am-1pm\nLunch: 1-2pm\nSession 3: 2:30-4pm \nSunday\, Mar 9th \nKarma and the Power of Intentional Thinking GP: 11-12:30pm\nLunch: 12:45-1:45pm\nHow to Harness the Endlessly Creative Power of our Mind: 2-3:15pm\nQ&A: 3:15-3:45pm

SUMMARY:The Power of Quiet Retreat
DESCRIPTION:In our busy modern lives there is so much distraction\, both inside our minds and surrounding us\, that it is rare to have the opportunity to be quiet and go inside to gently balance and re-energize ourselves. During this half-day retreat\, we will explore the benefits of silence combined with meditation. This is a powerful method to reduce stress and anxiety\, as well as\, increasing our sense of well-being and inner peace.  \nFriday night will introduce the Saturday Retreat. But it also serves as a standalone class that will be helpful regardless of meditation experience. \nEveryone Welcome! \nSchedule \nFriday\, March 14th \nSession 1: 7-8:30pm \nSaturday\, March 15th \nSession 2: 9-10am\nSession 3: 10:45-11:45am\nSession 4: 12:15-1:15pm
