Overwhelmed by constant distraction? Discover practical tools for clarity and resilience with Mingyur Rinpoche in London.
About this Event

We are living through a distraction epidemic.

Constant notifications. Endless information. Pressure to keep up.

Even when life looks successful on the outside, many people feel mentally overloaded, scattered, or unable to truly rest.

On 9 July in London, Mingyur Rinpoche offers a practical and deeply human response to this modern condition.

Rather than trying to eliminate distraction or force the mind to change, he explores a different approach — learning to relate to our thoughts, emotions, and attention in a wiser and more spacious way.

With warmth, clarity, and humour, Rinpoche shares a grounded and accessible perspective on working with distraction, stress, and the demands of modern life.

This evening is designed to be relevant whether you are completely new to meditation or have been practising for years.

Along the way, Rinpoche will share simple yet powerful ways of relating to experience that participants can begin applying immediately in everyday life.


No prior experience with meditation is required.


What You Can Expect

  • A clear, grounded perspective on distraction and mental overload
  • Simple, practical tools you can take into daily life
  • A direct and accessible introduction to awareness-based practice
  • A rare opportunity to hear Mingyur Rinpoche live in London
