SUMMARY:A Mindful Heart - Sunday in person Community Meditations
DESCRIPTION:About the Sessions\nJoin a wonderful team of facilitators  for a series of Meditations and meaningful discussions organized by Jamyang Buddhist  Centre in Leeds (UK). \nThis series is structured into 1 hour  sessions and is offered on Sundays at 10:30 am GMT. \nFrom January to the end of March the Sunday community meditations will be focusing on ‘A Mindful Heart’. \nInspired by the Creating Compassionate Cultures program (“CCC”) by Pam Cayton\, and developed by the Foundation for Developing Compassion and Wisdom. Grounded in three core pathways of learning: Knowledge\, Strength\, and Compassion. These pathways guide you towards a happier\, more meaningful life by fostering inner growth and a warmer connection with others. \nDesigned to help you develop a deeper understanding of how the mind works. The aim is to gradually let go of destructive patterns of thought and behaviour while cultivating a healthy sense of self-confidence and a deep\, compassionate connection with others. \nYou are invited to reflect on your attitudes\, perceptions\, and emotional patterns. By exploring the workings of our own minds and the nature of our interdependence with others and the world around us\, we begin to see how deeply connected our inner and outer realities truly are. We examine both logical and scientific perspectives on the nature of the self and our relationships with others. \nWhy joining\nAre you keen to work on your well-being and want to connect with others trying to make their life a little better for themselves and those around them?  \nEach hour-long gathering begins with a soothing meditation to calm your mind\, followed by an inspiring discussion on on a way of being that enriches your everyday life such as interconnection\, empathy\, compassion… We then dive into a focused meditation designed to help you embrace that way of being fully. \nWrap up your morning with a cup of tea and friendly conversation in a welcoming\, relaxed atmosphere.  \nMeet us every Sunday at 10:30 AM and start your week feeling refreshed\, connected\, and inspired. \n\nOpen to all\, beginners and experienced students alike!  No registration required\, absolutely everyone welcome. \n\nThis is the Schedule and Themes of the sessions :\n\nJanuary: \n\n11th: The Pursuit of Happiness\n18th: Understanding how things exist\n25th Developing Healthy Self Confidence\n\nFebruary \n\n1st: Compassion – Opening the heart 8th: Mindfulness\, reflection and critical thinking\n15th: Mindful intention – what do I really want\n22nd: Interconnection\n\nMarch: \n\n1st Embracing Change\n8th Perception\n15th Transforming harmful emotions\n22nd Empathy\n29th Cultivating Compassion\n\n\n\n\n\nHow to Join \n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn Person on Sundays 10:30 to 11:30 with coffee / chat in the café afterwards until 12:00pm. \n\nFor more information please visit the Jamyang Leeds Centre event calendar \nCost\nThis program is offered by donation.

SUMMARY:A Mindful Heart Course in 4 Modules | at Chenrezig Institute (Australia)
DESCRIPTION:Feeling better starts with living better! \nAbout the Event\n\n\n\nA Mindful Heart is a new course developed by FDCW as part of Universal Education. It is designed to support participants in developing a deeper understanding of how the mind works and how this understanding can transform the way we relate to ourselves and others. \nThe course gently guides participants in recognising and gradually letting go of destructive patterns of thought and behaviour\, while cultivating a healthy sense of self-confidence and a deep\, compassionate connection with others. Through guided reflection\, participants are invited to explore their attitudes\, perceptions\, and emotional patterns\, gaining insight into how inner experiences shape outer realities. \nBy examining the workings of our own minds and the nature of our interdependence with others and the world around us\, we begin to see how deeply interconnected we truly are. The course draws on both logical and scientific perspectives to explore the nature of the self and our relationships\, offering a balanced and accessible approach to inner inquiry. \nUltimately\, the personal transformation fostered through this course contributes to the creation of more compassionate cultures. How can one person influence a whole culture? The answer lies in understanding interdependence. Every action\, choice\, interaction\, and intention affects others and the broader environment. This principle of cause and effect lies at the heart of all life\, reminding us that individual transformation naturally ripples outward in meaningful ways. \nStructure\nThe course consists of 12 modules\, explored over three separate days\, with four modules each day. Each module builds on the previous one\, and each day builds upon the last. The time between sessions allows space for reflection and practice\, supporting participants to pause\, notice their inner experiences\, and reconnect with the heart of compassion and wisdom. \nThere will be plenty of opportunities for questions and discussion\, supporting the integration of insights and offering practical ways to live with greater mindfulness\, clarity\, and wisdom. \nSchedule\n\n28 March -Course day 1 : Modules 1-4\n25th April– Course day 2:  Modules 5-8\n27th June– Course day 3: Modules 9-12\n\nThis retreat will be held in the Gompa\, available to attend in person and online. \nWho Should Attend?\nThis retreat series welcomes participants of all ages and backgrounds who are seeking practical tools for meaningful change in their life\, home\, relationships\, community or workplace. It will be of particular interest to: Change-makers and anyone working in education\, healthcare\, or helping fields; Yoga\, mindfulness\, and embodiment teachers; Coaches\, mentors\, and those working in corporate or organisational well-being. \n\nBookings\nThe suggested donation for each day of the course is $75. However – you are welcome to offer whatever amount you feel comfortable with. \nSliding scale: $35-$75. \nSangha are always able to attend our courses free of charge\, please contact spc@chenrezig.com.au for discount code to register. \nFor more information and bookings\, please visit the Chenrezig Institute page \nFacilitator\n\n\n\n\n\nVen. Tsultrim was ordained in 2009 at Chenrezig Institute in Australia. She has spent much of the last several years in India and Nepal doing retreat\, listening to different teachers from the Tibetan Buddhist lineages and visiting many pilgrimage sites. She is currently living at Chenrezig Institute and continue working at Karuna Hospice Service in Brisbane as a counsellor and the Spiritual Program Coordinator.

SUMMARY:A Mindful Heart Course in 4 Modules | at Chenrezig Institute (Australia)
DESCRIPTION:Feeling better starts with living better! \nAbout the Event\n\n\n\nA Mindful Heart is a new course developed by FDCW as part of Universal Education. It is designed to support participants in developing a deeper understanding of how the mind works and how this understanding can transform the way we relate to ourselves and others. \nThe course gently guides participants in recognising and gradually letting go of destructive patterns of thought and behaviour\, while cultivating a healthy sense of self-confidence and a deep\, compassionate connection with others. Through guided reflection\, participants are invited to explore their attitudes\, perceptions\, and emotional patterns\, gaining insight into how inner experiences shape outer realities. \nBy examining the workings of our own minds and the nature of our interdependence with others and the world around us\, we begin to see how deeply interconnected we truly are. The course draws on both logical and scientific perspectives to explore the nature of the self and our relationships\, offering a balanced and accessible approach to inner inquiry. \nUltimately\, the personal transformation fostered through this course contributes to the creation of more compassionate cultures. How can one person influence a whole culture? The answer lies in understanding interdependence. Every action\, choice\, interaction\, and intention affects others and the broader environment. This principle of cause and effect lies at the heart of all life\, reminding us that individual transformation naturally ripples outward in meaningful ways. \nStructure\nThe course consists of 12 modules\, explored over three separate days\, with four modules each day. Each module builds on the previous one\, and each day builds upon the last. The time between sessions allows space for reflection and practice\, supporting participants to pause\, notice their inner experiences\, and reconnect with the heart of compassion and wisdom. \nThere will be plenty of opportunities for questions and discussion\, supporting the integration of insights and offering practical ways to live with greater mindfulness\, clarity\, and wisdom. \nSchedule\n\n28 March -Course day 1 : Modules 1-4\n25th April– Course day 2:  Modules 5-8\n27th June– Course day 3: Modules 9-12\n\nThis retreat will be held in the Gompa\, available to attend in person and online. \nWho Should Attend?\nThis retreat series welcomes participants of all ages and backgrounds who are seeking practical tools for meaningful change in their life\, home\, relationships\, community or workplace. It will be of particular interest to: Change-makers and anyone working in education\, healthcare\, or helping fields; Yoga\, mindfulness\, and embodiment teachers; Coaches\, mentors\, and those working in corporate or organisational well-being. \n\nBookings\nThe suggested donation for each day of the course is $75. However – you are welcome to offer whatever amount you feel comfortable with. \nSliding scale: $35-$75. \nSangha are always able to attend our courses free of charge\, please contact spc@chenrezig.com.au for discount code to register. \nFor more information and bookings\, please visit the Chenrezig Institute page \nFacilitator\n\n\n\n\n\nVen. Tsultrim was ordained in 2009 at Chenrezig Institute in Australia. She has spent much of the last several years in India and Nepal doing retreat\, listening to different teachers from the Tibetan Buddhist lineages and visiting many pilgrimage sites. She is currently living at Chenrezig Institute and continue working at Karuna Hospice Service in Brisbane as a counsellor and the Spiritual Program Coordinator. She has worked for many years in suicide prevention and intervention.\nShe has a very strong conviction that most of us can find contentment in our lives irrespective of our external circumstances through understanding and training our minds\, particularly through using mindfulness. She has a Bachelor of Counselling\, a Bachelor of Social Science (Social Policy)\, and Master of International Studies (Peace and Conflict Resolution).

SUMMARY:A Mindful Heart Course in 4 Modules | at Chenrezig Institute (Australia)
DESCRIPTION:Feeling better starts with living better! \nAbout the Event\n\n\n\nA Mindful Heart is a new course developed by FDCW as part of Universal Education. It is designed to support participants in developing a deeper understanding of how the mind works and how this understanding can transform the way we relate to ourselves and others. \nThe course gently guides participants in recognising and gradually letting go of destructive patterns of thought and behaviour\, while cultivating a healthy sense of self-confidence and a deep\, compassionate connection with others. Through guided reflection\, participants are invited to explore their attitudes\, perceptions\, and emotional patterns\, gaining insight into how inner experiences shape outer realities. \nBy examining the workings of our own minds and the nature of our interdependence with others and the world around us\, we begin to see how deeply interconnected we truly are. The course draws on both logical and scientific perspectives to explore the nature of the self and our relationships\, offering a balanced and accessible approach to inner inquiry. \nUltimately\, the personal transformation fostered through this course contributes to the creation of more compassionate cultures. How can one person influence a whole culture? The answer lies in understanding interdependence. Every action\, choice\, interaction\, and intention affects others and the broader environment. This principle of cause and effect lies at the heart of all life\, reminding us that individual transformation naturally ripples outward in meaningful ways. \nStructure\nThe course consists of 12 modules\, explored over three separate days\, with four modules each day. Each module builds on the previous one\, and each day builds upon the last. The time between sessions allows space for reflection and practice\, supporting participants to pause\, notice their inner experiences\, and reconnect with the heart of compassion and wisdom. \nThere will be plenty of opportunities for questions and discussion\, supporting the integration of insights and offering practical ways to live with greater mindfulness\, clarity\, and wisdom. \nSchedule\n\n28 March -Course day 1 : Modules 1-4\n25th April– Course day 2:  Modules 5-8\n27th June– Course day 3: Modules 9-12\n\nThis retreat will be held in the Gompa\, available to attend in person and online. \nWho Should Attend?\nThis retreat series welcomes participants of all ages and backgrounds who are seeking practical tools for meaningful change in their life\, home\, relationships\, community or workplace.
