Class Topics

Building Self Confidence – begins week 30 June (4 weeks)

Learn how to develop a positive view of yourself and develop an authentic inner confidence by learning to change the way you view yourself and those around you.

Dealing with Anger & Frustration – begins week 11 August (5 weeks)

Anger takes many forms from mild irritation or annoyance to lingering resentment, bad temper and even rage, but it is always painful and destructive. Learn simple techniques to deal with our own and others’ anger. Through meditation and other practices it is possible to gradually reduce the frequency and intensity of our anger, and eventually eradicate it altogether.

What to expect at a class

These classes are based on Buddha’s teachings on the mind, but you do not need to be a Buddhist to attend, or to benefit from them.

Each class consists of two guided meditations and an explanatory talk. The classes run for 90 minutes.

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.
