About the course
Do you find negative thinking gets you down? It is interfering with your ability to live a happy and productive life? Does is it affect your relationships?
This practical four week meditation course will explore the causes of happiness and the causes of suffering – virtue, non-virtue and delusions.

Each week we will explore habits of mind that interfere with our happiness and bring us down.
