Class Information

What to Expect in a Meditation Class

A meditation class explains Buddhist meditation, ideas, and practice and includes guided meditation and a teaching. You will find much practical spiritual advice that you can apply immediately to relieve stress and solve problems in your life. Everyone is welcome. The classes are suitable for both beginners and experienced meditators. You do not need to be a Buddhist to attend the classes, or to benefit from the techniques taught. Most classes are organized as short courses, usually 3 to 6 weeks long. Each class is self-contained, so feel free to drop in at anytime. The classes are easy to follow and do not need prior knowledge or experience.

Class Format

The teacher begins the class with a short guided meditation to help you relax and focus your mind. He or she will then give a talk based on Buddha's teachings that will explain how to put meditation into practice in daily life to increase your own and others happiness. There is usually a question and answer period at the end. After class we enjoy light refreshments and there is an opportunity to talk to the teacher.

What do I need to attend?
