We all like to think we know ourselves. But how often do we tell ourselves stories that make reality easier to accept?

“I’m fine.”

“I don’t really care.”

“This is just who I am.”

“I had no choice.”

“I’ll deal with it later.”

Sometimes, the hardest person to be honest with is ourselves

Join Bhante Paladhammika for an evening of deep reflection and honest conversation in a safe space, as we explore how the mind can distort reality to protect our desires, identity and sense of self — and what it takes to see more clearly.

No perfect answers.

No pretending.

Just an honest look at the stories we tell ourselves. Because sometimes, the truth we avoid is the very truth that can set us free.

All are welcome! Come as you are. There's a place for you here.
