Meditation for Everyone
Exploring Buddhism:
Practical Wisdom
for Daily Life
A Practical Five-Week Meditation Course
for Everyday Life
This six-week course is open to everyone. It introduces, in a down-to-earth and practical way, the fundamental principles of Buddhism - such as karma, past and future lives, meditation, and how to find inner solutions to your problems. Each session shows how these teachings can be applied in daily life to cultivate inner peace, clarity, and resilience. By the end of the course, you will have a strong foundation in Buddhist philosophy and practical ways to create a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
These classes include two guided meditations and a talk on nurturing deeper inner peace and a clear sense of purpose and direction in our lives. After each class, there is time for Q&A.
Each class is self-contained, so you are welcome to join at any time. No previous experience is required.

I've been to five workshops at this centre over the last year and it's completely revolutionized my meditation practice. I'm super grateful to have stumbled across them and recommend them every chance I get. Thanks!
— Andrew
Every time I join a workshop, I go home with valuable lessons that I can live by in daily life. The teachings are logical and cleaned my negativity significantly.
— Sara
I apply many of the teachings in everything I do in my daily life and I can say I am a much happier person and lead a much lighter life. This is my personal experience. I hope that if you get a chance to try them out they’ll be helpful in some way to you as well.
