Navigating Stress & Burnout – Buddhist Insights for a Happier Life
About this Event
In today’s fast-paced world, stress and burnout have become all too familiar. So, how can we find peace and balance amidst life’s demands?
Join visiting meditation teacher, David Oromith, for an engaging and practical talk on handling stress and burnout.
Drawing on Buddhist psychology and his own journey through depression, anxiety, and burnout, David will share:
- why the modern stress-cycle is so relentless – and what breaks it
- the three layers of burnout – and ways to heal them
- quick resets you can use at your desk or on the train
- how acceptance and self-kindness help you bounce back when things go wrong
David guides with warmth, humour, and the disarming honesty of someone who’s walking this path himself. There’s no jargon and no pressure to “be spiritual” – just practical ideas you can start using straight away.
Who’s it for? Absolutely anyone. Whether you’ve never tried meditation or you already practise every day, you’re welcome.
Come for friendly conversation, fresh perspective, and a cuppa. Leave with methods for a calmer, more balanced life.
