Our meditation classes are just like any other adult education class. Generally, classes begin with everyone arriving a bit early, and sitting on chairs in a comfortable room. The Meditation Teacher then comes in and welcomes everyone to the class. Read more...

Tuesday evening meditations
For those of you who have tried our drop-in classes and would like to progress a little further without commiting to a study programme; Kelsang Chöwang will be teaching from 'The New Meditation Handbook' on selected Tuesday evenings. For more information, dates & times click here.
