Meditation practice for real life
Exploring how meditation practice and daily life can work together to support peace, happiness, and resilience. Each class includes clear guidance on how to meditate, with time to practise and deepen familiarity with the techniques.
Rather than seeing busyness as a barrier, you’ll learn how everyday events and challenges can become part of your path to a more peaceful, fulfilling life, using a wide range of meditations from Buddha’s teachings.
Benefits include:
Practising simple relaxation and concentration meditations you can use straight away.
Becoming more familiar with your own mental habits and patterns in daily situations.
Building inner resilience and emotional balance through practical Buddhist wisdom.

Our classes have three parts:
Guided meditation
Every class (except for ‘Friday Night Lectures’) includes a chance to practise meditation. No prior experience is necessary and all the meditations are guided.
Teaching
From Buddha’s teachings, these practical talks help us to solve our daily problems and find peace, happiness and, if we wish, a deeper purpose in our busy lives.
Discussion
A chance to discuss the topic of the talk and meditation with others during the break over refreshments. No one is ever ‘put on the spot’ and asked to talk in a class. The teacher will normally make time for questions, and will be happy to clarify any points during the class too.
-
Yes. Courses cover a wide variety of topics from simple stress reduction to profound wisdom teachings, but are always taught in an accessible way such that everyone leaves with some practical insight they can use in daily life.
One exception to this is our monthly ‘Tantra’ class. Please see the Tantra class page for details.
