HALF DAY WORKSHOP | Silencing the Inner Critic

Are you tired of being your own worst enemy, criticizing your every move and dwelling on your flaws?  Or perhaps you’re fed up with being surrounded by people who seem inconsiderate and infuriating? The root cause of both struggles often lies in our inner critic – that persistent voice that judges ourselves and others harshly.

This critical mindset can lead to low self-esteem, self-doubt, and even anger and hatred.  But what if you could learn to silence that voice and cultivate loving kindness, confidence, and acceptance instead?

Join Buddhist monk Gen Jampel, in this transformative workshop. Be guided on your path to silencing your inner critic and gaining inner peace instead.

Workshop highlights:

  • Gentle guided meditations to calm the mind and soothe the heart
  • Insightful ways of thinking to re-frame negative self-talk and perceptions
  • Practical techniques to cultivate loving kindness and compassion towards yourself and others
  • A deeper understanding of Buddhist principles to promote inner peace and harmony

 

By the end of this workshop, you can expect to:

  • Recognize and challenge your inner critic’s negative patterns
  • Develop a more compassionate and loving relationship with yourself and others
  • Integrate mindfulness and meditation into your daily life

 

You’re welcome to stay for a homemade vegetarian soup & bread lunch.  Please book for this separately below.

 

Please note, we maintain a smoke and vape free environment.

 

Everybody’s welcome!
