Weekly drop-in sessions

Breathing Space runs free weekly-drop in sessions for carers in Tower Hamlets on Tuesdays at 11.30am - 12.45pm. These give carers the chance to:

• try out relaxation and meditation (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction or MBSR) in the tranquil environment of the London Buddhist Centre
• make new friendships with other carers
• enjoy a nice cup of tea!

Do I need to book?

No need to book, just turn up at the London Buddhist Centre: 51 Roman Road, Bethnal Green, London E2 OHU. (Bethnal Green Tube, Roman Road exit, 5 minutes walk to the old fire station on the corner of Roman and Globe Road) Map.

What if I am nervous about coming alone?

If you let us know beforehand, we can arrange for you to have a chat with someone on the phone first. A team leader will be happy to meet you a little before the class to show you in and keep an eye on you until you feel settled in the group.

Will I have to reveal myself to strangers?

You will not have to reveal anything you do not want to. Our drop-in sessions are very relaxed and informal.

What is meditation?

The meditation practices we teach involve watching the breath coming in and out of the body and developing a sense of wellbeing. We introduce each practice gently, helping you discover how to calm your mind.
