A NEW WAY OF SEEING THE WORLD
Part 1: Discovering Buddhist Wisdom

Weekly ONLINE interactive course over 10 weeks with Dominique Side
9 February - 20 April 2026

“This course provides a refreshing and stimulating approach to the Dharma. I really appreciate Dominique's clear and direct style of teaching, and her knowledge and experience of the subject really shows.” Jon

The Buddha’s wisdom reveals a new way of seeing the world and ourselves in it. Buddhist teachings offer reflections that challenge our usual ways of thinking and invite us to question our values and assumptions.

This interactive course is an exploration of the key points of Buddhist thought. We will examine these perspectives closely to see the similarities and differences between Buddhist views and contemporary ideas. We will be invited to revisit our own views and clarify for ourselves what our outlook on life actually is. This process leads to far greater confidence in the way we see things.
