What to Expect at a Class
We offer a variety of classes at different times to suit the individual. If you do not find a suitable class please let us know.
We do not expect anyone to sit on the floor if this is not comfortable so provide chairs in each venue.
Morning and Lunchtime Class
These classes last half an hour and focus on simple meditations from the 'living meditations' series of CD's by Tharpa Publications. We begin with a few minutes of simple breathing meditation followed by a 5-10 minute explaination on the meditation we will be doing. The meditation is then 15 minutes. There is time at the end to ask questions and in the morning class we are able to provide refreshments.
Evening Classes
These classes are 1 and a half hours long and focus on a specific topic from Buddhist teachings. See the individual venues for information on each weekly topic. We begin with a short prayer that you are welcome to join in with or simply sit and relax through. We then do a 10 minute breathing meditation followed by a 1/2 hour talk on the specific topic. We then do a 10 minute meditation on the particular topic followed by an opportunity to ask questions if you wish. We then have refreshments and more time for discussion.
Below are some videos with examples of specific topics that may be covered in a class.
