In the search for control over our lives we try to control the people and things around us. The result of this is that our mind becomes more rigid and rather than feeling at peace we feel out of control and vulnerable. However, through learning to control our mind in meditation we can learn to be happy and enjoy any situation we meet.
This workshop will introduce the nuts and bolts of why and how to meditate, including simple guidedmeditations and question and answer time. Perfect for beginners or those who would like to be re-introduced to meditation practice.
