Weekly General Program drop-in classes

These classes present practical meditations that help us solve the problems of daily life and find a deep inner peace and contentment that remains with us out of meditation. Each class consists of two guided meditations and an explanatory talk. The classes run for 90 minutes.

You can view our classes at the Centre and around town on the right side of this page. Just click on the link.

Anyone can practice meditation and everyone is welcome to attend. There is no physical exercise involved and you can choose to sit either in a chair or on a cushion.

These classes are suitable for all levels of experience.

Structure of the class

  • Breathing meditation
  • Brief prayer
  • Teaching
  • Meditation

After the class everyone is welcome to stay for light refreshments.

Attending the class

The classes are organised as short courses, usually 4 -5  weeks long. You can attend the whole course or simply come along whenever you can, as each class is self-contained.
