In these weekly classes you will learn proven techniques, based on Buddha’s teachings, for calming the mind, becoming more positive and focused, and reducing stress.

Each class begins with simple guided meditation (such as breathing meditation), followed by a practical talk on a topic such as how to make our mind peaceful, how to let go of anger, or how to develop a good heart towards others. In particular, the class will explain a particular method for practically solving our daily problems and improving our relationships with others. Then, the class will conclude with a second meditation on that topic and time for questions and discussion.

These meditation classes are open to everyone, regardless of your background and beliefs. They are suitable for beginners and experienced meditators alike and, although presented as part of a series, each class is self-contained – so you can drop in any time. Everybody welcome!

How to let go of stress and anxiety with meditation
5-week Oct-Nov course

Week 1 – Oct 20: Getting our meditation started
Week 2 – Oct 27:
How to meditate successfully
Week 3 – Nov 3: Overcoming distraction
Week 4 – Nov 10: Deepening our concentration
Week 5 – Nov 17: Bringing concentration into daily life

We all know what it feels like to have a distracted mind. We struggle to focus, our attention is constantly pulled in different directions, and even during meditation our mind is constantly wandering to our to-do list, our dinner plans, and the awkward conversation we had with our colleague.

Luckily, Buddha taught practical methods for developing a still, focussed mind – both in meditation and in daily life. In this practical course, learn how you can reclaim your mental focus through applying these methods. Gradually, we can learn to direct our mind wherever we wish, and uncover the deep peace that arises from a concentrated mind. 

This course is perfect for those who are new to meditation, and for experienced meditators who wish to deepen their meditation practice. Everybody welcome!
