November 16 – 18, 2018
3-day Non-Residential Course Led by Glen Svensson
Open to all levels of practitioners: beginners and experienced alike.
Two essential components in the pursuit of genuine happiness and inner well-being are the cultivation of mindfulness and emotional balance.
During this three day event we will learn and practice mindfulness meditations using the breath, focussing on the mind and resting in awareness. And with regard to emotional balance we will learn how to identify and effectively deal with imbalances such as anger and attachment. And how to effectively cultivate positive qualities such as loving-kindness and compassion.
We will not only be emphasizing the learning of these skills but also how to integrate them into our daily life so that they may form an effective basis for our pursuit of genuine happiness and well-being.
Approximate daily schedule for each day:
| 09:00-10:15 | Session 1 |
| 10:15-10:45 | Tea break |
| 10:45-12:00 | Session 2 |
| 12:00-13:30 | Lunch |
| 13:30-14:45 | Session 3 |
| 14:45-15:15 | Tea break |

We will ask you to please give your full donation for the course in our reception office in the days before the course starts, payable in Indian Rupees only (unfortunately we cannot accept Foreign Currency, Travellers Cheques or Credit / Debit Cards).
For example, the minimum amount that Tushita needs to cover our costs on one day courses is 500 Indian Rupees per person. This includes lunch and afternoon tea on this day. It does not include any other meals or accommodation, since it will be a non-residential course. Of course, extra donations to help Tushita are always welcome!

Since this is a Non-Residential course, it will not be possible to stay here at Tushita. There are many guest houses and hotels nearby however, varied enough to meet all comfort levels and budgets. You can see more information here.
What to Bring
-Warm clothing which can be worn in layers and a shawl/blanket for using in the meditation hall are advisable. Bear in mind that we are at a slightly higher altitude than in McLeod Ganj, it is noticeably colder here.
-You are welcome to take notes during the course, so you may find a notebook, pen etc useful.
-It is handy to have your own water bottle. Filtered water is available in our dining hall and out of concern for the environment, we strongly discourage students from buying water in plastic bottles.
-An umbrella or rainwear, depending on the weather that day.
-Our library sells books and other items, so you may want to bring some extra money with you. It may also be possible to borrow books, see more by clicking here.
-Please DO NOT bring: any musical instruments, camera, radios/tape/CD/MP3 players or mobile phones as you will be asked not to use them while you are here.
