​This class is the perfect way to learn how and why to meditate in the way the Buddha taught. This class is free and open to the public. No need to register. 
We will cover: 
  • Meditation posture
  • Why we meditate 
  • The problems that happen in our meditation and how to overcome them 
  • Breathing meditation 
  • Loving-kindness meditation 
  • Meditation on the nature of the body 
  • Meditation on generosity and virtue 
  • Meditation on the parts of the body and the elements 
  • Walking meditation 
  • And more...
The class is a mix of instructions and guided meditations. We have plenty of chairs and cushions.

The class is taught by monks trained in the Theravada Buddhist Tradition. All of the techniques we teach in this class are simple, useful and down to earth. Check out our meditation resources page to find out more and download the text of our guided instructions.

Don't be nervous if you've never been to a monastery or meditation class before. The atmosphere at our activities is peaceful, welcoming and very friendly.

​Newcomers are welcome. We're looking forward to meeting you. If this is the first time you are attending, check out   what to expect.
