Buddha taught that this human life is deeply meaningful and rare, offering us a precious opportunity to develop inner peace, wisdom, compassion, and lasting happiness. Yet according to Buddhist wisdom, genuine happiness arises naturally when we learn to appreciate the goodness around us, develop a generous heart, and cultivate joyful states of mind.In this inspiring half-day course, Buddhist nun Kelsang Oden will guide us through practical meditations and contemplations that help us develop gratitude, kindness, generosity, and inner joy in daily life.Through learning to focus on what nourishes and uplifts the mind, we can begin to let go of negativity, isolation, and mental heaviness, and instead develop a lighter, more meaningful, and more compassionate way of living.Suitable for both beginners and experienced meditators.Each session will consist of a talk and guided meditation plus time for Q&A.Venue: Godmersham Village Hall, Canterbury Rd, Godmersham,CT4 7DRRefreshments provide on arrival and in the breakDate: Saturday 5th DecemberTime: 10am - 1pmCost: £25 General Admission | £20 Low income concession | Monthly Subscribed Members of KMC Kent and Full Time Students - free(Low income tickets are made available for those on benefits or unemployed)BOOKING ONLINE ESSENTIAL!Please note: Online Booking & Payment prior the start of the retreat only.Schedule:Registration: 09.40amSession one - 10.00am - 11.15amBreak - 11.15am - 11.45amSession two - 11.45am - 1.00pmmeditateinkent.com - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/godmersham/living-with-gratitude-generosity-and-joy/100001993655203381 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Workshops, health-wellness - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 3 hours - Location: Godmersham & Crundale Village Hall - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 25, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Godmersham - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Godmersham & Crundale Village Hall - **lat**: 51.2176506 - **long**: 0.9574353 - **full address**: Godmersham & Crundale Village Hall, Canterbury Road, Godmersham, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Living with Gratitude, Generosity and Joy - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/04c7a376db7aed188ae26af6de26b1bf41eb8e0cb65a8293af7d1f0444755e21-rimg-w1200-h800-dcf2f2f0-gmir.jpg?v=1785103649 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Living with Gratitude, Generosity and Joy being held? - **A:** Living with Gratitude, Generosity and Joy takes place on Sat, 05 Dec, 2026 at 10:00 am to Sat, 05 Dec, 2026 at 01:00 pm at Godmersham & Crundale Village Hall, Canterbury Road, Godmersham, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Living with Gratitude, Generosity and Joy? - **A:** Living with Gratitude, Generosity and Joy is organized by Kadampa Meditation Centre Kent. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
