About this event

  • Event lasts 3 hours

In today's fast-paced world, stress can often feel overwhelming, pulling us in multiple directions and leaving us feeling scattered. But we all know that stressing out just makes things worse. And yet we also feel like we have no choice but to stress and worry about the crises and pressures we face in our lives.


According to Buddha, stress does not come from external situations but rather from our response to them. In other words, it comes from our mind. By learning how to “drop out” of a stressed mind and into a clear and peaceful one, we can learn to respond to problems differently, in a more centred, flexible and effective way.


In this half-day course, KMC Kent’s principal teacher James will guide us in a surprisingly simple meditation that can bring about a peaceful, clear mind swiftly. Then, using Buddha’s profound insights into the mind, he will uncover where our stressful response comes from, and show how we can gain new perspectives on our difficulties and respond skilfully and peacefully.
