A Mindful Heart Course in 4 Modules | at Chenrezig Institute (Australia)
2026-03-28 09:00 - 16:00 (Australia/Brisbane) | Chenrezig Institute, 3 Johnsons Road, Eudlo,, Eudlo, Queensland, 4554, Australia
Feeling better starts with living better!
About the Event

A 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.
The 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.
By 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.
Ultimately, 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.
Structure
The 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.
There 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.

A Mindful Heart: Online Monday sessions organized by the Centre for Wisdom and Compassion
2026-04-13 12:00 - 13:00, 2026-04-20 12:00 - 13:00 (Europe/Copenhagen) | Tong-Nyi Nying-Je Ling, Denmark
About the Sessions
The Mindful Heart course is inspired 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.
Designed 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.
You 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.
Why joining
Are 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?
Each gathering begins with a calming meditation to fully arrive, followed by an inspiring discussion 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.
Each session has a particular focus but you can attend the sessions independently of each other:

Open to all, beginners and experienced students alike!
