Finding Calm in a Busy Life
beginner friendly guided meditation retreat
SAT July 18 | 10am - 12pm
with Kaitlyn Brayton Sturbaum, Kadampa Teacher
Feeling overwhelmed often stems from the habit of constantly pushing yourself. Meditating doesn’t need to be another item on your to-do list; view it as a 10-15 minute "mini-vacation" for your mind.
Finding calm in a busy life using Kadampa Buddhist principles is all about changing how you view your day. Instead of seeing busyness as an external force you must endure, Kadampa teachings encourage us to recognize it as an internal feeling we can control by training the mind.
What to expect? Gentle guided meditations, short teachings as well as Q&A in the last session. This is a guided beginner-friendly meditation retreat, however, everyone can benefit from this course— you don't have to be Buddhist to participate.
