Discover practical meditation techniques to step out of exhausting thought patterns and experience a calmer, clearer mind.

Replaying conversations. Worrying about what might go wrong. Getting caught in loops of thought that leave you feeling drained, foggy, and further from peace than when you started.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone — and you’re not stuck. There is a way through.

Most of us have never been taught how to work with our mind. So when unhelpful thoughts arise, we follow them — analysing, replaying, worrying — until the thinking itself becomes the problem.

Buddhist wisdom offers a gentle but powerful insight: the issue isn’t that we think. It’s that we’ve developed the habit of following every thought wherever it leads, without realising we have a choice.

When we learn how the mind actually works — and how to guide it with kindness rather than force — something begins to shift. Clarity becomes possible. So does rest. So does genuine inner peace.

In this half-day workshop, Buddhist nun 𝗚𝗲𝗻 𝗞𝗲𝗹𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗻𝗶 will share practical teachings and guided meditations that help you step out of unhelpful thinking patterns and discover a calmer, more spacious mind.

These aren’t just ideas to think about — they are tools you can use.

Through Buddhist meditation techniques and gentle mental training, you’ll learn how to step back from an overactive mind and experience the stillness that exists beneath the noise.

With practice, you’ll discover how to navigate the pressures of modern life with greater ease, switch off when you need to, and develop a quality of peace that doesn’t depend on everything going right.

During the workshop you’ll discover practical methods you can use in everyday life, including:

• How to recognise and release busy or painful thought patterns
• What to do when your mind feels stuck, negative, or circular
• How to stop thinking thoughts you don’t want to have
• How to genuinely switch off and allow the mind to rest
• Simple guided meditation techniques that bring clarity and mental calm

𝐆𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 & 𝐁𝐮𝐝𝐝𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐖𝐢𝐬𝐝𝐨𝐦

Each session combines clear, accessible teachings with guided meditation, so you leave not just with understanding but with direct experience of a quieter, more peaceful mind.

Buddhist wisdom has helped people work with their thoughts for thousands of years. Many people find that even small shifts in how they relate to their thinking bring immediate relief — a sense of spaciousness they didn’t realise was possible.

No previous experience with meditation or Buddhism is necessary. 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲.

𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐖𝐢𝐬𝐝𝐨𝐦 𝐢𝐧 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐲 𝐁𝐚𝐲

This workshop follows the public talk “Choose Happiness” on Thursday evening, where Gen Kelsang Ani will explore the deeper causes of happiness according to Buddhist teachings.

Together, these two events offer a beautiful combination of insight and practice — timeless wisdom paired with practical tools to bring more peace and clarity into everyday life.
