Introduction to Meditation & Buddhism - online course

Saturdays 10:30am – 12:30pm for 6 weeks starting 5 September 2020

This is a six week course introducing meditation and Buddhist teachings. The class runs from 10.30am to 12:30pm every Saturday from 5th September 2020.

During the course you will learn the two Buddhist meditation practices: Mindfulness of Breathing, for developing awareness, integration and clarity of mind; and Mettā Bhāvanā (“development of loving kindness”), which brings about a gentle but radical transformation of our emotional world.

In addition to learning meditation, we will introduce traditional teachings of the Buddha in a way that is accessible and practical to everyday life in the modern world.

This is a 6 week course. Spaces are limited, and booking in advance is required. The cost for the whole course is £25 if you are fully waged or £20 for concessions.
