Free Your Mind

A four-week course in Deptford

The state of our mind is the state of our life. We're mostly unaware of how our negative habits limit our experience and are oblivious to the vast potential of our minds. Buddhist practice gives us the tools to change that and awaken to life’s depths. On the course, we will teach you some of the fundamentals of Buddhist thought, as well as two foundational meditation practices.
