How to Stop Overthinking
Saturday, August 29, 2026, 3-4:30pm
Though we need to think, reflect, understand, make decisions and so on, sometimes our thoughts can become circular, negative, stuck, or unclear. We may have a tendency to overthink and find it difficult to ‘switch off’—which can be exhausting and unproductive.
By learning to skillfully observe our mind and feelings, we develop the ability to prevent them from spinning out of control. Without suppressing our emotions, the practice of meditation helps us to gradually keep a calm and relaxed mind in all circumstances..
Join Gen Namdrol for this monthly class that includes an inspiring talk, guided meditations, and time for questions and answers. Please stay following the class to connect with others and enjoy some light refreshments. Everyone is welcome!
