Learn to meditate

We offer a range of beginners meditation instruction:

• a rolling 11-week intro to meditation and Buddhism programme on Tuesdays at 7pm (a general listing on our regular events page - intro to meditation and Buddhism). This class re-starts the first week of February 2025.

• options for people recovering from addictive behaviours who wish to include meditation in their recovery process. (This class restarts on 16 February 2025.)

All options teach our two main meditation practices: mindfulness of breathing and loving-kindness (metta bhavana). Together these help cultivate clarity, focus and compassion.

The 11-week introductory evening programme will give you the foundation you need to establish your own practice, and attend any of our other classes and retreats with confidence. You can join at any point during the programme - just come along at 7pm on a Tuesday night. This class includes instruction in both meditation and the basics of Buddhism (of which meditation is an essential element). This is our recommended starting point for newcomers with an interest in Buddhism and meditation.

If you prefer a daytime class, keep an eye on the meditation events page to see when they are running.

Everything is provided at our courses to support your learning, all you need to do is come along in casual, comfortable clothes.
