Introduction to Meditation

An 8-week foundation course

Learn to settle your mind and find genuine peace. This friendly, step-by-step course introduces the core techniques of Buddhist meditation in a completely accessible way — no experience, no belief required.

What You Will Learn

Over eight evenings you will discover that meditation is simpler than you think, and more transformative than you might expect. We begin with the basics — posture, breath, and how to relate to the wandering mind — and build steadily through more subtle techniques.

Each class includes:

  • A short teaching
  • Guided meditation (30 minutes)
  • Discussion and Q&A

Who This Course Is For

This course is for complete beginners and for people who have tried to meditate but found it hard to get started on their own. You do not need any background in Buddhism or any particular belief. The techniques are universal and have been practised for centuries.

What to Bring

Just yourself. Cushions and chairs are provided. We ask that you come with a sincere wish to learn and an open mind.

Registration

Places are limited to 16 participants per course to ensure personal attention. Early registration is encouraged.
