events suitable for newcomers |  |
events suitable for regular meditators |
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 working with bereavement, chronic pain and local carers.

NEW COURSE: Mindfulness Based Smoking Cessation (MBSC) With 'mindfulness' meditation, quitting is much easier than you think. When you give up smoking the real work is in the mind. By bringing us into a more spacious relationship with our minds, mindfulness meditation practice allows us to get inside our minds, to deconstruct the thoughts and feelings that compel us to smoke. Helps relax and soften any symptoms of stress that arise when we stop smoking. Led by Nagabodhi |
