“Waking up is not a selfish pursuit of happiness, it is a revolutionary
stance, from the inside out, for the benefit of all beings in existence.”
― Noah Levine

Lyndi Smith – Intentions
Jan 6 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm

 

January is often a time to ‘set intentions’ for the coming year. What are intentions? Is there a difference between intentions and expectations? And how can we live our intentions, in the present moment, with kindness and compassion?
We’ll explore what the Buddha said about intentions, and how we can tune into our heart’s wishes for ourselves in the year ahead, and in our meditation practice.

Lyndi Smith has been practising for eleven years and instructing for six. For a couple of years, she lived at retreat centres. Her training is in both traditional and secular mindfulness, and her favourite teachers come from Tibetan Buddhist and Insight communities. She is a trained Mindful Self-Compassion teacher and teaches mindfulness in schools, on teen retreats and in workplaces.
