5-day courseFrom our earliest memories of life, we are taught to seek happiness through looking outwards in the world – for status, achievements and the self-worth that comes through romantic relationships. We all know that these are indeed rewarding but can bring in themselves many problems. If we continue to replace broken dreams and disappointments with more external goals, it is likely that we repeat a self-defeating habit.
In this course we will consider what we mean by that loaded word “love” and how Buddhist teachings can help us find a more authentic and reliable source of happiness that cannot be hijacked by the vicissitudes of life.
Concepts covered
Love and compassion
Nurturing a healthy relationship with our egos
Emotional resilience
Self-worth
