Retreat Topic: Healing the Past, Changing the Future

It is easy to get stuck feeling determined by or hurt by our past experiences. In actual fact, our capacity for inner transformation and healing is extraordinary.

Understanding karma gives us the power to change our lives. By understanding that our happiness comes from our positive thoughts and actions, and our unhappiness from our hurtful thoughts and actions, we are given the tools to redirect our lives.

Instead of blaming external circumstances for our unhappiness, we will be inspired to respond with wisdom and creativity – to use the law of karma to our own and others' advantage by realising we have the power to create the experiences that we long for both now and in the future.

During this weekend retreat Buddhist nun and Resident Teacher, Gen Kelsang Ani, will teach practical meditations to purify
past negativity, heal past hurts and to create a future free from suffering and problems.
