Practice Night

Thursdays 7pm – 9:30pm

Meditation!

A radically different series from the Thursday night practice team, which will focus on how we can individually deepen our meditation practice.

There will be no formal teaching, instead there will be plenty of opportunity to explore and ask questions about your meditation practice. We can also learn a lot when hearing about other peoples experience of meditation.

The evening will start with exploring our practice in a group setting before heading to the shrine room to do a lead meditation based on one or more themes that has come out of this. In the tea break you will be encouraged to reflect and talk about the meditation you had just done, with an opportunity to clarify anything with the team. We will then go back to the shrine room for another meditation(or puja on full moon nights).

The series is open to anybody who knows the two meditation practices, no matter what level of experience you have. As each night is self contained you can drop in to any evening without having missed anything from the previous weeks.

We hope you will take this opportunity to deepen your practice with us.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it okay to join in the middle of the series?

Absolutely. Though of course you'll get those most out of the class by attending the whole series, there's no need to wait until the start of the next series if you want to start coming.

Do I need to book?

No - just arrive at the Buddhist centre in time to begin promptly at 7pm.

How long do I need to have been coming?

The class is best suited for those who have attended an entire series (or most of a series) on Newcomers Night or have completed an Introductory Course.

I can't make it to any of the introductory classes, can I come to this class instead?

Since the meditation practice is usually without instruction, and the topics covered are quite in depth, this class is not well suited for newcomers.

How much does the class cost?

We don't charge for our classes, and the team are not paid for their time. We simply ask that those who are able to do so make a donation to the centre to help us cover our running costs.

Can I still attend if I am under 18?

All are welcome at our classes however if you are under the age of 18 please contact us in advance of joining the session (contact@colchesterbuddhistcentre.com)
