Course Description

What is happiness?
What is in the way of happiness?
What was the Buddha’s way towards happiness?

This five-week course offers a step to step guide to bring more insight and happiness into your life. It is based on the ancient teachings the Buddha gave 2600 years ago.

We offer you practices to apply mindfulness in your everyday life and work with challenges of the mind. The teachings explore how we can cut through painful thinking and deepen the contact with our feeling life. 

During the five weeks, we will study four of the major discourses of the Buddha. Each weak Christopher Titmuss shares his insight and understanding about the Buddha’s teachings in form of a video. Additional material consists of an essay on the theme of the week and questions for your exploration in daily life. 

We can find rest and peace within moments of calm, happiness and clarity. This course supports you in finding access to these experiences. Your intentions to explore and understand the fullness of each day, alone or with others, or both, will release happiness amidst the challenges of daily life.

May all beings live with wisdom, happiness and peace of mind.
