Letting Go of the Inner Critic

  • Kadampa Meditation Center Indianapolis 4010 West 86th Street Indianapolis, IN, 46268 United States (map)

We all have an inner critic that undermines ourself and others. However, this critic has no power once it’s been correctly identified and re-focused using simple, yet effective meditation techniques.

During this retreat, Fred May will explore recognizing our inner critic without identifying as the critic, seeing how we can transform the challenges that come from our inner critic and ultimately how we can release ourselves skillfully from this negative narrative and cultivate a positive attitude towards ourself and others. 

What to expect? Gentle guided meditations, short teachings as well as Q&A in the last session. Everyone can benefit from this retreat — you don't have to be Buddhist to participate.
