MEDITATION AND BUDDHISM Courses
 |
suitable for newcomers |
Meditation is best learnt from an experienced teacher in a structured course. A meditation course is a good way of systematically exploring meditation: how to work with what happens in your mind, how to become calm and deeply absorbed.
We run courses introducing the Buddhist vision. The Buddha taught what reality is and what we need to do about it – if we want to be truly happy. On these courses, you can find out what Buddhism really is.
Our health and wellbeing courses help reduce the risk of relapsing into depression or addiction. We help those with bereavement, chronic pain and local carers.
