World Peace Starts Here
Discover How to Create Meaningful Change
with Susan Smith
In a world that often feels unstable and divided, we find ourselves asking: why is this happening – and what can I do about it?
In this series, we’ll explore these questions through the lens of Buddha’s teachings, looking at the deeper causes of conflict and the conditions that give rise to peace. Rather than feeling powerless or overwhelmed, we’ll learn practical ways to respond with clarity, compassion and inner strength.
By understanding how our own minds contribute to the collective experience, we can begin to participate in the solution without adding to the friction and conflict we see around us.
​
These classes will be based on the text How to Transform Your Life by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso

Each class consists of 2 guided meditations, teaching and discussion.
