Centre Activities
Meditation
Meditation is the art of finding peace and happiness within, using simple methods of calming and stabilising. We offer weekly meditation sessions and regular meditation & mindfulness training courses.
Buddhism
Buddhism expresses a deep respect for all faiths, and does not require people to convert to Buddhism in order to find the benefits of meditation. Buddhist methods of meditation are aimed not only at calming the mind, but also at achieving insight into how the mind functions, and its true nature.
Mindfulness
We are all very busy in our modern lives and many of us are looking for ways in which to cope with anxiety, stress and pain. Furthermore, we are looking for ways in which to enhance our wellbeing and cope better with life’s challenges.
Retreats
We offer a variety of day and short retreats suitable for those who are complete beginners to the more experienced.
Yoga Classes
Regular Yoga & Qigong classes are held at the Centre each week by fully qualified instructors. People of all ability and age are welcome to join these class
