Healing Anxiety & Worry: Silent Meditation Retreat

Meditation is a powerful scientific method to dissolve away anxiety and worry, and to develop a calm, positive and strong mind. This retreat will highlight practical meditation techniques and positive ways of thinking you can use to control your mind, rather than being overwhelmed and controlled by the experience of anxiety and worry.

During each session, Buddhist monk Gen Zamling will provide practical instruction and guide meditations you can practice anytime. You are welcome to ask any questions during the sessions.

We will observe silence during the two brief breaks to promote greater mental peace and introspection. Join us at the end for an informal Q&A and light refreshments if you wish.

Perfect for both beginners and seasoned meditators; absolutely everyone is welcome.
