What we’re about
Find out about our free drop in meditation sessions and other Tibetan Buddhist courses held throughout the week.
Keep up to date about new courses and programmes which share simple meditation techniques and methods for training in meditation & compassion, which have been developed over centuries, yet help us deal with the challenges of everyday modern life.
Meditation and compassion have been shown to be beneficial in many ways, including bringing peace of mind, tackling stress, depression and other mental health problems. They can also help us to develop more kindness and warm-heartedness for ourselves, our families and those around us.
