Finding Inner Peace Amidst Challenge & Change

During this 4-week course, explore insights and practical methods from the book ‘A Practical Guide to Mindful Living: Five Ways to Restore Presence and Calm Amidst Challenge & Change.’

Learn how to take charge of your internal world, manage stress effectively, and find peace in everyday life, regardless of external circumstances.

The course is centred around four of the main chapters from the book, looking at how to build a regular meditation practice, live with intention and purpose, stay grounded in the present, and gain a deeper understanding of our minds, thoughts, and emotions.

These teachings draw from both Buddhist and Western psychology, offering a transformative approach to life’s challenges.

Week 1: “Cultivating Mindfulness Through a Regular Meditation Practice”
Week 2: “Leading a Meaningful and Deliberate Life”
Week 3: “Living in the Now, Not In Our Imagination”
Week 4: “Mindfulness of the Mind, Thoughts and Emotions”

These classes are recordings of in-person classes held in Kidwelly over July & August 2023. They consist of easy-to-follow guided meditations, talks and discussions covering a different aspect of meditation & practice each week.

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.
