Can't Sleep - the Solutions to a Restless Mind, day retreat
with Kadam Birgit Saunders

Are you tired of being tired?

Are you tired of lying awake in bed, unable to switch off your thoughts? When you do fall asleep do you sometimes find it’s just not restful?

You’re not alone. Not sleeping well is an increasingly common problem, but it’s a problem you can solve.

Buddhist meditation techniques help us let go of worries, frustrations and anxieties – the main obstacles to inner peace in general, and restful sleep in particular.
By using these tried and tested methods to create greater peace of mind, you’ll become able to guide yourself to restful mental states that will enable you to relax, let go of the busyness of life, not worry about sleep, but instead, just enjoy.

During this retreat, you’ll learn:
how to calm your mind and cultivate a peaceful state of being;
how to let go of the negative thoughts and emotions that keep you up at night;
what to do you when you still can’t sleep; and
meditations you can do every day.
