The Great Deception - 5 Jan 2026 - FREE EVENT

Join us for a transformative journey into the mind—guided by timeless Buddhist wisdom and grounded in modern scientific understanding.

Every day we’re swept up by thoughts, emotions, and the nonstop rhythm of life… yet beneath all this activity rests a steady, radiant mind—naturally calm, open, and free.

Whether you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or simply curious about your own mind, this in-person session is devoted to awakening inner freedom and deepening mindful awareness. You’ll learn practical techniques to reduce stress, support emotional balance, and improve overall wellbeing.

In this thought-provoking exploration, Buddhism meets science to reveal the hidden patterns of perception that keep us trapped. Investigate the nature of experience and discover what lies behind the veil of ordinary awareness. Be ready—not just to hear the truth, but to see it for yourself.
