Moving on from Anger: Morning Course
Moving on from Anger | Meditation Morning Course | Saturday 31st October 10am-1pm
Every day, we experience things that can leave us feeling irritated, frustrated or angry. Some life events can leave us carrying anger and hurt for many years.
When we hold on to anger, it can affect our happiness, relationships and peace of mind.
In this course, we will explore the Buddhist approach to understanding anger and changing the habits that keep it going. Through meditation and practical teachings, we will learn how to let go of anger and move forward with greater freedom and peace.
Course fee: £15/ discounted for members

What should I expect?
Our classes are relaxed, friendly and suitable for everyone. A typical class includes two guided meditations and a practical talk explaining how Buddhist wisdom can help us deal with everyday problems and enjoy a calmer, happier life.
-
What should I bring?
You don’t need to bring anything with you. Everything required for the class will be provided. You may wish to bring a notebook and pen if you like taking notes, but this is completely optional. Most importantly, just bring yourself and an open mind.
-
Do I need to wear special clothing?
Not at all. You can simply wear whatever you normally feel comfortable in. Meditation does not involve physical exercise or complicated postures, so there is no need to wear special clothing.
-
Do I have to sit on a meditation cushion?
Although we do provide meditation cushions on the floor, it is not necessary to sit on one. Most people prefer to sit on a chair, which is also perfectly suitable for meditation.
-
Do I have to be Buddhist to attend?
Not at all. Everyone is welcome, regardless of their background, beliefs or previous experience. Many people who attend our classes are not Buddhist, they simply want to learn how to meditate, find greater peace of mind and deal with life’s challenges in a more positive way. You can take away whatever you find helpful and apply it in your own life.
