What can I expect at a class?

Suitable for all, our weekly classes are arranged in courses designed to give you a deep experience of a meditation topic. You can also drop into an individual class if you prefer as each class is also self-contained.

Each class comprises a talk and two guided meditations. At the end of the class, you will have a chance to ask questions to the class teacher. You do not need to be Buddhist or have prior experience of meditation.

We sit on chairs and no physical exercise is involved.
