April & May – Freedom from Irritation and Annoyance

March 24 - May 26

Our lives can be full of situations we would rather avoid and its easy to get into habits of irritation and annoyance. We cannot avoid all the challenging experiences of life, but we can all DEFINITELY change the way we think about them. Learning to stand up to habits of frustration and non-acceptance give us the space to live a happy, peaceful life even if things do not go according to plan.

Each class, we will look at some facet of understanding the source of our anger and irritation and how to move towards a happier way of living. There will be plenty of time to meditate and quiet our busy mind down so we can look at the situations of our life more clearly, and practical tools that we can immediately utilize day-to-day. We will leave this series understanding how to have a flexible, happy mind even in an often troubling world. Everyone welcome!
