Dealing With Difficult People - Sat 22nd Nov, 10am-1pm
Why do conflicts arise? Why do we find conflict so difficult to deal with? — and how can we respond wisely?

Whether in our personal relationships, at work, or in the wider world, conflict is an unavoidable part of life; but it doesn’t have to lead to anger, resentment, or division.

In this half-day course, Gen Chogma will share how Buddhist teachings offer a fresh and transformative approach to dealing with conflict — both within ourselves and with others. Through meditation and practical insights, learn how to stay calm, communicate with clarity, and respond with compassion rather than react with hostility.

Discover how inner peace leads to outer harmony.

* Learn practical meditation techniques to stay calm during conflict
* Understand how mindfulness helps shift from reactive emotions to thoughtful responses
* Cultivate compassion and clear communication to transform difficult interactions
