Each class is self-contained, so you are welcome to join at any point.
Our classes begin with a brief introduction, followed by an initial guided meditation to settle the mind and create a feeling of inner peace. This is followed by a talk on an aspect of meditation practice related to the series topic, and concludes with a guided meditation related to the talk.
After each class, we invite you to join us in our community room for complimentary refreshments and an opportunity to ask questions.
You do not need to be a Buddhist to attend, and no previous experience with meditation is required.
Everybody is welcome!
