Love and Hate - Saturday 1st July, 9am–5pm

The Buddha encouraged us to develop a mind of love for all beings but sometimes our capacity for love is hidden by hurt, resentment and hatred. In this one day workshop, learn how you can heal your hate and transform our mind, filling your heart with a love that is boundless and immeasurable.

Life and Death - Sunday 2nd July, 9am–4.30pm

The Buddha taught mindfulness of death to create a sense of urgency in our spiritual practice and develop wisdom into the nature of our existence. Reflecting on the reality of death prepares us for the inevitable but more importantly, helps us understand the very meaning of life.

Cost is $30 for each workshop or $50 for both days.  Morning and Afternoon tea provided, bring your own lunch.  Bookings essential on Trybooking link:  https://www.trybooking.com/CIGPM
