Meditation & Positive Thinking

Everyone, whether spiritual or not, is looking for happiness & wants to be free from suffering & problems. In this course we can learn how to fulfil these wishes, especially in these difficult & challenging times. We will learn methods to transform our difficulties by strengthening our love & compassion & deepening our wisdom. In this way we can help others to do the same. £7 per class; booking essential - due to limited space - on meditateinhuddersfield.org
