SUMMARY:A Mindful Heart: Online Monday sessions organized by the Centre for Wisdom and Compassion
DESCRIPTION:About the Sessions\nThe 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. \nGrounded in three core pathways of learning: Knowledge\, Strength\, and Compassion.

SUMMARY:Falling in Love with the Future - An experiential\, Nature Based Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This gathering is for the curious\, the weary\, the wild-hearted. No previous experience is needed—just a willingness to be surprised by your own aliveness. Whether you come alone or with friends\, you’ll be met with warmth\, spaciousness\, and good compost for your soul. \nAbout this Retreat\nJoin us for a beautiful\, relaxing\, and deeply meaningful gathering in the heart of nature—held over the luminous days of the Summer Solstice at the serene sanctuary of Land of Joy. This is not just a retreat. It’s a remembering. A re-rooting. A celebration. From Friday 19th – Monday 22nd June \n\n\n\nWhat’s Alive in This Workshop? \nOver a long summer solstice weekend\, we’ll immerse ourselves in the wild stillness and soft rhythms of the land. Together\, we will: \n\nRest in the quiet magic of reflection spaces\, birdsong\, and breeze.\nShare in the collective joy of meditation\, breath\, and gentle movement under open skies.\nSavour wholesome\, nourishing food\, prepared with care and shared in gratitude.\nGather around the fire in the long golden evenings to celebrate joy\, stories\, and seasonal aliveness.\nPractice being human together—with tenderness\, play\, and deep listening.\nThis is a space to unplug from urgency and reclaim connection—with yourself\, with others\, and with the living world.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy “Fall in Love with the Future”?\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBecause in a world swirling with uncertainty\, we need new myths. New narratives. New ways of being-with the unknown. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe’ll tend the soil of possibility\, and open to a simple but profound truth: Our joy arises from our natural state of inter-being. \nOver these Solstice days\, we will:\nLearn to love ourselves—as part of nature\, not apart from it.\nLearn to love each other—with kindness\, courage\, and honesty.\nLearn to love the Earth—not as an idea\, but as kin.\nAnd yes… learn to fall in love with the future—not through control\, but through connection. \nWho is this Retreat for:\nThis gathering is for the curious\, the weary\, the wild-hearted. No previous experience is needed—just a willingness to be surprised by your own aliveness. Whether you come alone or with friends\, you’ll be met with warmth\, spaciousness\, and good compost for your soul.\nCome Join Us\nLet this be a pause from performance. A ritual of remembering. A small\, sacred step toward a world where we fall in love—not with perfection\, but with what is still possible.\n✨ Let the land love you back. ✨ Let the future become your ally. ✨ Let yourself come alive \n\nBookings  \nFor more information and bookings\, please visit the Land of Joy dedicated page \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFacilitator: Paul Wielgus -Paul spent a large part of his working life facilitating groups of all sizes\, as well as one to one coaching\, up until 1999 when he left a large organisation to set up his 2 businesses\, Dragonfly Coaching For Life and Social Innovation (2020 Vision). In 2019 he decided to stop all his commercial life to dedicate his time to activism with Extinction Rebellion and XR Buddhists \nHis core belief (and experience) is that in activism and in life\, the most important thing is to learn not how to fix things\, but instead to try to learn how to find creative and courageous\, kind and wise responses to the many challenges we face. Finding Joy is a key aspect of this work. \nHe lives in Somerset with his lovely partner Ros\, where a significant part of their lives is dedicated to serving their unpredictable cat\, Olly.

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.
