- **Event Description**: Turning My Life in the Direction of Happiness Through MeditationAbout this EventThe New Year is a time to begin anew — a chance to reflect, reset, and move our life in a more positive and meaningful direction. We all wish to become stronger, more peaceful, and more joyful, but lasting change can only come from transforming our own mind.Through Buddha’s teachings and meditation, we can discover a deep inner resilience — a strength that remains steady even when life feels uncertain. By learning to let go of negative habits of mind such as fear, self-doubt, and resentment, we open the door to confidence, kindness, and joy. These inner qualities empower us to face challenges with patience and to respond to life with wisdom and compassion.In this day's retreat, James will guide us through practical meditations on Buddha’s psychology of transformation. We will explore how to nurture mental strength, develop a resilient heart, and create the inner conditions for genuine happiness. With these tools, we can step into the new year with clarity, purpose, and joy — becoming the best version of ourselves, and bringing strength and inspiration to those around us.Saturday 24 January 2026 10am - 4pmVenue: Goldsmid Hall, Tudeley Road, Tudeley, Tonbridge TN11 0NWVegetarian lunch IncludedBooking Online Only prior to start of course; limited space availableScheduleRegistration: 09.40amSession one: 10.00am - 11.15amBreak: 11.15am - 11.45amSession two: 11.45am - 1.00pmLunch : 1pm -2.30pmSession 3 &amp;4 : 2.30pm to 4pm (will include Q &amp; A and teachings and a concluding meditation)Everyone Welcome!meditateinkent.com  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/a3281e80-e24d-11f0-983f-3f1406156a47-rimg-w987-h740-dc454846-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/a6623ae0-e24d-11f0-b1e5-fb8d04c0193d-rimg-w987-h740-dc764c34-gmir.jpg
