Buddha taught many gentle methods to help us transform our mind and to break free from old habits. Buddha also taught ways to stabilize more realistic, constructive and positive views, intentions and actions. It all starts with understanding and transforming our own mind. And we can do it!
This Wednesday evening meditation class will take a practical look at Buddha’s wisdom teachings and how it can be applied to our modern life.

Silence Your Inner Critic
Saturday, September 30 | 10:00am – 12:30pm
With Resident Teacher, Matthew Stein
Descriptio
In today’s culture of social comparison, it’s common to become excessively self-critical, which undermines self-confidence and causes feelings of confusion and discouragement. Listening to and believing in the inner critic wreaks untold havoc: it damages relationships, impairs the ability to make spiritual progress, and prevents the realization of your full human potential.

Treat yourself to a morning meditation workshop with Resident Teacher, Matthew Stein to learn how to access your innate confidence and a profound sense of well-being.
