Getting Unstuck: a meditator's guide to moving forwards | with Gen Kelsang Lamchen

Gen-Lamchen-KO-04-2025-4324_edited.jpg

Saturday 31st October
10:30-11:30am & 12:00-1:00pm
 

Sometimes we find ourselves stuck in the same scenarios, hitting inner blocks and struggling to find motivation and the momentum to move forwards with confidence or clarity. By mindfully observing the constant changes around us and within our own mind we can recognise that feeling stuck is a mindset which can be shifted.  

At a deeper level we can also discover how working with our karma offers the opportunity to unlock our potential for positive change and break free from the rut.
