The Art of Joyful Living

Overcoming Attachment in Daily Life

Guest Course with Kadam Andrew Crompton

19. – 21. September 2025 | on-site and Online

Imagine life without enjoyments—no friends, no good food, no holidays… Miserable, right? We need enjoyments to be happy.

But often our way of enjoying leads to problems. We get frustrated when we can’t have something, anxious when we might lose it, and sad when it’s gone. Why? Because we’re attached. And that attachment can ruin our happiness.

In this guest-course, Kadam Andrew Crompton, Resident Teacher at Kadampa Meditation Centre Slovenia, will show how to enjoy life without clinging—bringing more peace, freedom, and real joy.

Everyone is welcome to take part in this practical course. No previous experience of meditation is required.

Info: The course will be taught in English, with German translation available. Lunch will be offered on a donation basis. Please book your options below.

Quote about the course

When we are enjoying internal peace and happiness our craving for external sources of pleasure naturally declines and it is easy to remain content.
