About This Event

Finding Peace with Painful Feelings takes place at the Friends Meeting House in Canterbury. The session provides practical meditation and wisdom for navigating emotional challenges. Tickets range from free to £40.00.

Practical meditation and timeless wisdom for navigating life's emotional challenges with greater strength, compassion, and inner peace.

Life doesn't always go the way we hope. We all experience painful feelings at times—whether it's anxiety, grief, loneliness, disappointment, anger, or simply feeling overwhelmed. These emotions can seem all-consuming, leaving us feeling stuck and unsure how to move forward.

Buddha's timeless wisdom offers a hopeful and empowering perspective. It teaches that although we cannot always change our circumstances, we can change the way we experience them. Through meditation and practical methods for training the mind, we can gradually let go of painful mental habits and discover a deeper source of peace, resilience, and happiness from within.

In this inspiring and practical course, you'll discover how to:

Understand the real causes of emotional pain.

Respond to difficult feelings with greater wisdom and confidence.

Let go of unhelpful habits such as worry, resentment, and self-criticism.

Develop inner strength, compassion, and emotional balance.

Experience a lasting peace that remains with you, whatever life brings.

Each session includes practical teachings, guided meditations, and time for reflection, giving you simple tools that you can use immediately in your daily life.

Each class stands on its own, so feel free to drop in anytime. We recommend attending the full series if you can, but you’re always welcome to join individual sessions. Suitable for complete beginners and experienced meditators.

Everyone is welcome

Sessions last for an hour. Light refreshments will be served before or after the class.
