This Friday. Two hours. No easy answers.

Talk with a Monk is our monthly contemplative workshop for those who've been carrying unanswered questions for years.
Questions about patterns you keep repeating. Wounds that won't heal. What you're actually doing with your life.

Madhu Sai doesn't offer comfort or resolution. He teaches us how to hold the questions themselves with honesty and awareness. How to sit with not-knowing. How to let uncertainty become a doorway instead of a dead end.

Not for everyone.
- For serious practitioners ready for active inquiry.
- Friday, June 12 | 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
- $25 | The Happyness Center, Kamloops

Someone cuts you off in traffic. There's a flash of anger.

Between the cut-off and the anger, there's a space. Most of us never see it. We go straight from trigger to reaction in microseconds.

But that space is where freedom lives.
Meditation doesn't stop the triggers. It teaches you to find the space. To notice the thought before it becomes the action. To feel the impulse before it becomes the word you can't take back.

The space is always there. Most of us just move too fast to notice it.

Sunday Meditation
- First Sunday of every month | 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM
- By donation ($5 minimum)

Join us this Sunday. Learn to find the space.

Your body is trying to tell you something.

Those tight shoulders that won't release no matter how much you stretch? That's not just tension. That's your nervous system stuck in protection mode.

The racing thoughts at 3 AM. The way small inconveniences feel like catastrophes. The digestive issues that doctors can't quite explain. The sudden tears or the flash of anger that surprises even you.

These aren't character flaws. They're signs your nervous system has been running on overdrive and forgot how to downshift.
You're not broken. You're dysregulated.

And that's something we can work with.

We offer:

-Community Reiki (Mondays, 12-2 PM) - gentle energy work to help your body remember it's safe
-Sound Healing - frequencies that calm the vagus nerve
-Meditation - practices that create space between stimulus and response
-Clinical Counselling - support for processing what your body is holding

Drop in Monday for Community Reiki. No appointment needed. By donation. Just come.

Your nervous system is asking for help. We're here.

What do you do with questions that won't resolve?

This Friday, join us for Talk with a Monk—our monthly contemplative workshop for those ready to sit with uncertainty without needing to fix it.

Madhu Sai guides us through practices drawn from J. Krishnamurti, the Yoga Sūtras, and the Bhagavad Gītā. This isn't passive learning. It's active inquiry—looking directly at the patterns you've been avoiding, the questions you've been carrying, the discomfort you've been running from.

Some questions don't need answers. They need presence.

Friday, May 8 | 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
The Happyness Center, Kamloops
$25 | For serious seekers

90 minutes of guided practice + 30 minutes for open questions.
Register: thehappynesscenter.org/talk-with-a-monk

Come prepared to look inward. Bring your questions. Leave the need for certainty at the door.

Compassion begins with yourself.

This Sunday, Wayne Porterfield guides our monthly meditation session with a profound exploration: how do we learn to meet ourselves with kindness?

We often show compassion to others while being harsh with ourselves. We notice our mistakes, our patterns, our perceived failures—and the inner dialogue can be relentless. But what if meditation could change that relationship?

Drawing from the work of Brené Brown and Kristin Neff, Wayne will guide us through:

-How mindfulness reveals our inner patterns of judgment
-The difference between empathy and sympathy
-How awareness creates space for self-compassion
-The connection between treating yourself kindly and genuinely connecting with others

This isn't about fixing yourself. It's about seeing yourself clearly—and choosing kindness anyway.
