These classes are suitable for all levels of experience. Most people meditate sitting on chairs but cushions are also available if you prefer to sit on the floor. There is no need to book – everyone is welcome to drop in to any class on any date. Come and feel uplifted not just by the class but also by the company and the beautiful meditation room. Get in touch if you have any questions at all.
These introductory classes begin with a simple guided meditation to reduce stress, tension and distractions. This is followed by a short teaching on how to apply Buddhist principles to daily life, followed by a second meditation and an opportunity to ask questions and discuss with others.
After the class you are welcome to stay for refreshments and informal discussion.
You don’t need any previous experience to attend these classes. Also, you don’t need to pre-register. All you need to do is choose a class and come along!

These classes are taught by our Resident Teacher, Gen Kelsang Chogma. You can attend any class on any date.
Guided meditations and a talk explaining how these meditations help us let go of anger, anxiety and other painful minds and replace them with peaceful, positive ones.
These classes are based on the book How to Solve Our Human Problems – a scientific exploration of the causes and solutions to our daily problems and difficulties, using Buddha’s teachings to change our world by changing our mind.
In this busy world, our experiences of happiness are fleeting and short-lived, while inner peace eludes us completely. Our negative states of mind, such as uncontrolled desire and anger, create endless problems for ourselves and others, and prevent us from fulfilling our deepest wishes. Geshe Kelsang begins by presenting Buddha’s popular teaching on the Four Noble Truths, which offers a clear and simple solution to all our problems, guiding us to an oasis of peace within our hearts. He then focuses in particular on overcoming the problem of anger, learning how to develop and maintain patience when faced with even the most difficult circumstances. This book is available to buy at our classes and you can purchase and download digital versions here.
The Tuesday evening classes are available in person and also live-streamed. Live-streams are only accessible by monthly members.
Cost: £7 per class or four classes for £21. These classes are free for Monthly Members, who can attend in person or via live-stream. See here for details
