Our Meditation Course
Over three consecutive Thursday evenings, our course provides guidance on a simple and proven method of meditation, giving participants the experience of stillness and quiet, leading to full instruction in meditation at a short welcome ceremony.
Classes start at 7pm for approximately two hours, including a light vegetarian supper. Welcome ceremonies are held at weekends, around 10 days after the final class.
Following their welcome ceremony, students are supported to establish a daily practice through a personal online check-in with a meditation teacher, and one further group meeting.
