Our meditation classes teach simple, practical meditation techniques based on the teachings of Kadampa Buddhism. Their intent is to help people to gain a personal experience of inner peace, overcome their daily problems and find real happiness in their hearts.
All of our General Program and Simply Meditate classes are suitable for everyone—from brand new beginners to experienced meditators—and consist of guided meditations, a talk and discussion. Classes are grouped into series of 4-6 weeks, focusing on a theme or meditation technique.
Each class is self contained so you can just drop in and enjoy. They provide an ideal introduction to meditation and Buddhism, teaching effective and practical methods for overcoming problems and increasing happiness in daily life.

Books/Prayer Booklets: Living Meaningfully, Dying Joyfully
We are alive, therefore we will die. This is the simplest and most obvious truth of our existence, yet very few of us have really come to terms with this fact. By understanding and embracing this reality, we can transform our relationship with life and death, gaining the confidence to live fully and meaningfully.
In this series, we will explore how to prepare for death—not with fear or denial, but with clarity, acceptance, and compassion. Through this journey, we’ll also learn to support others in their final moments, cultivating an attitude that sees death as a natural part of life’s cycle.
