Freedom from Craving
Meditation Workshop
@ Burnley KBC
Saturday 14 June, 10am – 1pm
In-person & Livestream
We turn to many material things for happiness but this search often leads to greater desires and dissatisfaction. In this course, we will explore why these things fail to quench our thirst for happiness and how we can find true enjoyment free from craving.
If we don’t have skillful ways of dealing with this habit of craving, it can easily lead to strong attachment and harmful tendencies.
In this meditation workshop, with help from teachings and guided meditations, we will discover how to identify our habits of craving and harmful attachment as they arise, and then how to let go of them. We will discover effective ways to bring a growing sense of inner peace and happiness to all areas of our life.
Refreshments are available in our World Peace Café during the course.
The cost of the Meditation Workshop is £15 (Monthly Members £5, FP Monthly Members £0).
Our monthly membership programme offers access to all our weekly classes as well as discounts on courses for only £20 per month – Learn more.
