SUMMARY:Getting To Know Your Mind 20 – 27 April 2026
DESCRIPTION:Getting To Know Your Mind 20 - 27 April 2026\n				\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Getting To Know Your Mind\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					20 - 27 April\, 2026\, 7-Day Course\n 				\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n						\n									Registration\n					\n					\n				\n								\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Led by: Ven. Tenzin Choden (Joan)\n\n				\n				\n		\n		\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n									This beginner-friendly course offers a practical introduction to the way the mind works from a Buddhist perspective. Getting to Know Your Mind invites participants to slow down\, turn inward\, and begin to get to know themselves more deeply and honestly through a process of self-reflection. Rather than trying to control the mind or suppress difficult emotions\, this course focuses on becoming familiar with how the mind works and on learning to apply methods to develop healthy and positive states that counteract disturbing thoughts and emotions.  Through guided meditations\, teachings\, and discussion\, participants learn to observe their thoughts\, emotions\, and habitual patterns with clarity and self-compassion. This growing familiarity becomes the foundation for developing more inner stability\, better emotional balance\, and greater freedom in daily life. 								\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n									Rooted in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition\, the course introduces essential meditation practices for calming and observing the mind\, alongside explanations from Buddhist psychology that enable participants to recognise states of mind that support well-being and those that lead to distress. With kindness and curiosity\, participants are encouraged to explore their inner world as it is\, without judgment\, and to gradually grow their love\, compassion\, and acceptance of themselves and others. The emphasis throughout is on practice and integration. The tools offered are meant to be lived\, not just understood\, helping participants respond more wisely to stress\, emotions\, relationships\, and the challenges of daily life. Course highlights include:Clear instructions for settling and focusing the mind (shamatha)Guided analytical meditations Introductory teachings on the nature and function of the mindAn explanation of key emotions based on Buddhist psychologySpace for questions\, discussions\, and shared inquiryOne full day of silent guided meditationsPractical guidance for bringing mindfulness of mental states into daily life Important to note:No previous meditation experience is requiredThe course is suitable for complete beginnersHalf of the first six days and one full day are held in silenceoffering space for deeper awareness and inner listeningParticipants are asked to attend all sessions This is not a Vipassana (Goenka) courseThis course is an invitation to begin where you are\, just as you are\, and to discover that understanding the mind is a learnable\, empowering\, and deeply rewarding process. Disclaimer  Meditation can sometimes bring up difficult emotions or unresolved issues\, particularly for those with existing mental health conditions. If you have any concerns about your emotional wellbeing\, we encourage you to speak with a healthcare professional before attending. This course is designed to provide a supportive environment\, but individual experiences with meditation may vary. 								\n				\n				\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Details of the course\n				\n				\n				\n				\n									COURSE DATE:   20 April – 27 April 2026 COURSE LEADER:   Ven.

Getting to Know Your Mind invites participants to slow down\, turn inward\, and begin to get to know themselves more deeply and honestly through a process of self-reflection. Rather than trying to control the mind or suppress difficult emotions\, this course focuses on becoming familiar with how the mind works and on learning to apply methods to develop healthy and positive states that counteract disturbing thoughts and emotions.  Through guided meditations\, teachings\, and discussion\, participants learn to observe their thoughts\, emotions\, and habitual patterns with clarity and self-compassion. This growing familiarity becomes the foundation for developing more inner stability\, better emotional balance\, and greater freedom in daily life. 								\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n									Rooted in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition\, the course introduces essential meditation practices for calming and observing the mind\, alongside explanations from Buddhist psychology that enable participants to recognise states of mind that support well-being and those that lead to distress. With kindness and curiosity\, participants are encouraged to explore their inner world as it is\, without judgment\, and to gradually grow their love\, compassion\, and acceptance of themselves and others. The emphasis throughout is on practice and integration. The tools offered are meant to be lived\, not just understood\, helping participants respond more wisely to stress\, emotions\, relationships\, and the challenges of daily life. Course highlights include:Clear instructions for settling and focusing the mind (shamatha)Guided analytical meditations Introductory teachings on the nature and function of the mindAn explanation of key emotions based on Buddhist psychologySpace for questions\, discussions\, and shared inquiryOne full day of silent guided meditationsPractical guidance for bringing mindfulness of mental states into daily life Important to note:No previous meditation experience is requiredThe course is suitable for complete beginnersHalf of the first six days and one full day are held in silenceoffering space for deeper awareness and inner listeningParticipants are asked to attend all sessions This is not a Vipassana (Goenka) courseThis course is an invitation to begin where you are\, just as you are\, and to discover that understanding the mind is a learnable\, empowering\, and deeply rewarding process. Disclaimer  Meditation can sometimes bring up difficult emotions or unresolved issues\, particularly for those with existing mental health conditions. If you have any concerns about your emotional wellbeing\, we encourage you to speak with a healthcare professional before attending.

Getting to Know Your Mind invites participants to slow down\, turn inward\, and begin to get to know themselves more deeply and honestly through a process of self-reflection. Rather than trying to control the mind or suppress difficult emotions\, this course focuses on becoming familiar with how the mind works and on learning to apply methods to develop healthy and positive states that counteract disturbing thoughts and emotions.  Through guided meditations\, teachings\, and discussion\, participants learn to observe their thoughts\, emotions\, and habitual patterns with clarity and self-compassion. This growing familiarity becomes the foundation for developing more inner stability\, better emotional balance\, and greater freedom in daily life. 								\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n									Rooted in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition\, the course introduces essential meditation practices for calming and observing the mind\, alongside explanations from Buddhist psychology that enable participants to recognise states of mind that support well-being and those that lead to distress. With kindness and curiosity\, participants are encouraged to explore their inner world as it is\, without judgment\, and to gradually grow their love\, compassion\, and acceptance of themselves and others. The emphasis throughout is on practice and integration.
