Get Started

Our emotions are important – they shape our experience of our reality. They can be wonderful, and they can be unbearable. Sometimes we want to hold on to them forever, and other times we want rid of them. Whatever the experience, for most of us, emotions seem beyond our control, as if they happen to us, and we have no say in whether they stay or go.

During this 4-week course, drawing on practical experience of meditation, psychology, and Buddhist wisdom, we will discover how to ’embrace the waves’ and maintain equilibrium and presence with turbulent emotions. Meditation will help us to deepen our understanding of emotions, and discover the ability to regulate our emotional responses. Cultivating this emotional balance will promote good physical health and enhance our personal wellbeing and growth.

Learn how to cultivate a profound sense of mental and emotional balance. This course is not about suppressing negative emotions, but about learning to experience and govern our emotions in a healthy, dynamic way.

David Oromith

David is an experienced Buddhist contemplative and meditation guide who has studied and taught internationally for several years. He is the Co-Founder of Samadhi and a qualified mindfulness teacher, Mental Health First Aider, and an active member of the Association for Spiritual Integrity. His teaching style is clear and practical, and his warm and humorous approach makes him a popular mindfulness teacher. In his own practise and teachings, David focusses on the core themes of Early Buddhism and emphasises the practices of Shamatha (meditative quiescence), and its union with Vipassana on the Four Applications of Mindfulness and the Four Immeasurables – which presents a direct path leading to the realisation of our deepest nature and the potentials of consciousness, and closely follows how the Buddha himself attained enlightenment. He considers himself to be the fortunate student of many teachers, including his root lama, Lama Alan Wallace.
