What to expect at a class
Though there is no fixed format to any class, introductory classes often begin with a simple breathing meditation exercise to reduce stress, tension, and distractions.
This short, guided meditation is followed by a talk on how to incorporate meditation techniques and Buddhist principles into daily life. This may include topics such as improving relationships, gaining peace of mind, coping with stress and dealing with anger.
The class may then include another meditation designed to help us gain deeper experience of the subject of the class. Finally, if there is enough time, the class is concluded with questions and answers giving you the opportunity to resolve any unresolved issues.
After the class
If you have time to stay, there is a chance to enjoy snacks and refreshments while relaxing or discussing the ideas presented in the teaching with other people. You could also take the opportunity to talk to the teacher about any unanswered questions you may have.
Do I need to book?
There's no need to book for our drop-in classes, they're self-contained so you can attend any of the classes during term. For more information please call 01604 686778.
