A big thank you to everyone who attended our July events - including the volunteers who helped everything run smoothly 🙏🥰

We held a workshop on the Power of Mantra and learnt to make our very own malas/prayer beads.

And in our Wake Up Smiling workshop we learnt how to approach each day with gratitude through seeing kindness in the world around us and recognising the priceless good qualities we can develop through difficulty and adversity.

KMC Perth is on a break for a few weeks now due to the International Kadampa Summer Festival, but bookings are open for our August events:

🧘🩷 Sat 15th August ~ Secrets of Self-Confidence: How to Believe in Yourself silent day retreat with Paul Johnston

🧘🩷 Sat 29th August ~ Navigating Painful Feelings half-day workshop with Gen Tara

See you in August!
