Bi-weekly Meditations for a more Peaceful Life Organized by the Centre for Wisdom and Compassion

October 28 @ 19:30 - 20:30 CEST

Free – Kr25

Many people think excitement is happiness…. But when you are excited you are not peaceful. True happiness is based on peace.” ― Thich Nhat Hanh

About the Sessions

Join us online for an hour to pause, center, and restore to a happier and more peaceful mind to support you in being a bit more resilient in a world which does not always make sense anymore. These guided meditations are to help you calm your mind, explore your own nature and develop a more peaceful perception on life. When you are well with yourself, you will be more able to be well with others and the world. 

These meditations are very practical, they are not within a religious context, so they are suitable for people of different beliefs, ages and abilities, for beginners as well as for those with more experience. 

What are the meditations based on?

They are based on a set of values and principles aimed at helping individuals cultivate a more peaceful and meaningful life. They are divided into four categories: 

  • how we think (humility, patience, contentment and delight) 
  • how we act (kindness, honesty, generosity and right speech) 
  • how we relate to others (respect, forgiveness, gratitude and loyalty)
  • how we find meaning (aspiration, principles, service and courage). 

These guidelines provide a framework for personal growth, encouraging individuals to think, act, relate, and find meaning in ways that foster a harmonious and fulfilling life.

The sessions are offered online with a few of the sessions also being offered with the option of meeting physically in Phendeling’s rooms in Copenhagen. You will receive all details once you register.
