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!
AnnaAttendee
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 .
