Two special Thursday evening classes at Atisha KMC for those who have received Highest Yoga Ta**ra empowerments. 😍
Ideal if you've just received them for the first time at this year's Summer Festival, but also perfect for those who received them previously. 💃
These classes with Gen Kelsang Chogma will be looking at some of the meditations held within the Vajrayogini sadhana Dakini Yoga. ❤️ There will also be time for discussion and Q&A.
£7 per class (free for Monthly Members)

🥰 The Summer Self-Reset: From Sabotage to Self-Care
Two uplifting meditation classes – attend either or both. No previous experience needed.

Discover practical methods from modern Buddhism to quieten the inner critic, transform negative thoughts, and develop a deeply positive view of your self-care. Everyone is welcome and also to stay for refreshments & chatting after class. Attend one or both classes. £7 per class. No need to book - just come along.

CLASS ONE: Breaking the Cycle (Overcoming Self-Sabotage)
Tuesday 18th Aug, 7 – 8:15pm with Gen Kelsang Chogma
Thursday 20th Aug, 11am – 12noon with Ken Standley

This class focuses on identifying why we get in our own way and how to stop it.

Summer is the perfect time for a fresh start, yet many of us find ourselves slipping into bad habits that hold us back. In this session, you will learn to re-think “self-sabotage,” understand why we get in our own way, and walk away with practical tools to quiet your inner critic and maintain your momentum.

CLASS TWO: The Self-Care Mindset (Positive Thinking & Wellness)
Tuesday 25th Aug, 7 – 8:15pm with Mike Whitaker
Thursday 27th Aug, 11am – 12noon with Ken Standley

This class focuses on reframing self-care from a chore or a luxury into a positive, essential practice.

True self-care isn’t just a checklist; it’s a mindset. In this second session, we will explore how to stop viewing self-care as a luxury or a burden and start seeing it as an act of positive self-respect. Learn how to reframe your daily routines, cultivate deep self-compassion, and design a sustainable, guilt-free self-care practice that lasts long after summer ends.
