What it's like at our classes...

The instructors are highly committed practitioners and they do a great job on applying the ancient teachings to our modern day problems.

I found the place to be a constant source of calm and inspiration and the community to be really welcoming, warm and sincere.

A haven of peace. Great environment to learn how to tame your mind with experienced teachers and practitioners. Warm, open atmosphere where everyone seems to be welcome!

This is a very special place for me. Since coming several times a week for 6 months my outlook on life has completely changed and I have happiness in my heart.

You do not need to be a Buddhist to visit, nor need to be a Buddhist to benefit from these classes.

I always feel recharged being there after a stressful busy day. The teachers are experienced and great.

Welcoming staff and teachers that are really receptive to everyone from all backgrounds.

Everyone is warm and welcoming, and the meditation classes are both relaxing and profound. The perfect environment to develop and nurture inner peace.

Went for a drop in this lunchtime and would recommend, everyone was really friendly and the meditation was really relaxing. I’ve never been before and it was completely suitable as a beginner!

Each time I visit this place I feel very welcomed and inspired. Lots of what is said is so useable for daily life - for example how we can use patience to no longer get stressed out in traffic jams , or how we can live in the moment to let go of past stress and worries and simply enjoy .

Great place for Meditation Classes, would highly recommend.

First time I attended and I immediately felt like I'd come home

Practical Buddhist teachings for the busy modern world. If you struggle with stress I would strongly recommend

I cannot recommend this place highly enough. Beautiful positive energy and the pillar of my week. I've been attending 8 weeks so far and it's improved my life immeasurably.

A wonderful place of encounter and spirituality where one feels at home, surrounded by love, understanding and joy!
