The Search for a Sense of Personal Identity: A Buddhist View
Moving through the highs and lows of life can challenge our sense of self, and even create an identity crisis, leading us asking ‘who are we in the face of loss and failure?’ Conversely, experiences of success can feel self-affirming, but may leave us fearing that they will not last or simply leave us wanting more. The Buddha found that the underlying cause of so much of our suffering is the immense pain of having lost touch with who we really are.
In this morning teaching, Dominique Side will present some Buddhist insights into our true identity, and show how, by nurturing a deeper understanding of who we really are, we can begin to find the confidence and inner strength to weather life’s ups and downs.
With Dominique’s fresh approach to this topic, this evening will be dynamic and interactive, with opportunities for personal reflection, group dialogue and questions & answers.

Understand Your Mind
When we seek to find who we truly are, we may find ourselves identifying with our mind. Our thoughts, feelings, emotions and opinions colour so much of how we see and interact with the world around us.
In this teaching, Dominique Side will show how Buddhist psychology unpacks different facets of our mind to give us a clearer understanding of what mind is and how it functions. This gives us insights into how we can work with our mind to find a way out of our suffering and reveal our own capacity for inner peace.
