Drop-in Meditation Classes

The classes are designed both as a series and as stand-alone classes and are generally organized into a month-long series.

The classes will allow you to unwind your mind and return home relaxed and refreshed. They will provide you with new tools for dealing with stress, anxiety and problems.

The talks and guided meditations will provide you with the foundation for developing a powerful meditation practice. A regular meditation practice has many benefits:

• Helps reduce stress.
• Overcomes anxiety and worry.
• Brings inner calm and a feeling of well-being.
• Gives clarity to solve our problems.
• Helps us deal with challenging people and situations.

Drop-in classes begin with a simple guided meditation to reduce stress, tension and distractions. This is followed by a talk on how to apply Buddhist principles in daily life. This may include topics such as improving relationships, gaining peace of mind, learning to love and dealing with anger.

There is also a second short guided meditation which is designed to help you gain deeper experience of the subject. The class then usually breaks for a short informal discussion and a question and answer session.

After the class, you are welcome to stay and enjoy delicious snacks and a variety of teas, while relaxing and talking with other people who attended the class.

You do not need any previous experience to attend these classes. Also, you do not need to pre-register. Simply find a drop-in class location and come along!

Dress comfortably. People sit on regular chairs or on cushions on the floor, depending on what they prefer.
