Akanishta Centre has been established in Whaddon Lodge for three years and has already attracted a growing number of people from all walks of life from the local community who come to find out about the practical benefits of meditation and Buddhism.

Just 10 minutes walk from Cheltenham Town Centre, Akanishta Centre serves as a special place of peace and refuge in the heart of the Cotswolds.  Located in a tranquil setting near Pitville Park, the Centre offers a wide range of classes, courses and retreats on Meditation and Buddhism for all levels from complete beginners to more experienced meditators.

Everyone is very welcome, you don’t need to be a Buddhist to attend or visit the Centre. Our aim is to provide a peaceful environment and help people find inner peace, through meditation and the practical advice Buddha taught to help people with everyday life.
