What to Expect at a Class

The classes begin with a breathing meditation to make the mind peaceful and clear, after which the class looks each week at one of the meditations from the Buddhist tradition.  First the teacher introduces the meditation, along with some basic aspects of Buddhist thought and practice, emphasizing how these can be applied to daily life.   Then there is the guided meditation and questions-and-answers. 

The classes conclude with some light refreshments and an opportunity to talk informally with the teacher and other students.  Buddhist books will be on sale for further reading.

Seating is provided on chairs, or you are welcome to bring a cushion if you prefer to sit on the floor.

You may begin with any class, and are welcome to attend a whole course or just turn up to any class on a drop-in basis as you prefer.
