Inner Wellbeing in Buddhist Mind Science
About the event
Join us for a day of exploration and practice dedicated to understanding the mind and cultivating genuine inner wellbeing.
This 1 day retreat experience balances theory with practice — drawing on the rich philosophical and contemplative traditions found in Buddhism and synthesizing this with the latest scientific evidence — offering practical tools for working with the mind that are both accessible and relevant for the busyness of modern life.
Throughout the day, we will explore the Buddhist understanding of the mind, emotions, as well as the roots of happiness and suffering. Through teachings, guided meditation, and reflective inquiry, participants will be introduced to key concepts such as the role of attention, the nature of disturbing emotions, and the cultivation of wholesome mental states. These insights are grounded in centuries of careful contemplative investigation and offer a remarkably detailed map of inner experience that speaks to the universal human aspiration to live with greater ease, clarity, and warmth.
Whether you are new to meditation, a seasoned practitioner, or simply curious about what Buddhist mind science has to offer the modern world, this 1 day retreat experience provides a welcoming and intellectually engaging space to deepen your understanding of the mind and take home practical methods for your everyday life.
