What we’re about
Welcome to Samadhi! We aim to introduce people to meditation and mindfulness, and to help them integrate these practices into their daily life. Everyone is welcome to join our sessions!
We engage in various meditations from the Buddhist and other contemplative traditions. Drawing on the practical experience of meditation, psychology, and Buddhist wisdom, we look at insights, teachings and new ways of thinking which help us unwind, relax, let go of things like stress and anxiety, and cultivate positive minds such as patience, compassion, and equanimity.
With a regular meditation practice, you will gain greater and greater peace of mind and discover a more positive approach to life, as well as improved levels of emotional and mental health. Meditation has numerous benefits for the health of both your body and mind, is easy to do, and something everyone can learn.
"Since nearly everyone living in the modern world is coping with an overload of thinking, remembering, and planning this may be just what the doctor ordered: a general prescription for soothing and healing overworked bodies and minds." – B. Alan Wallace

•OnlineLiving with Anxiety: Befriending & Tending to Fears and Worries
OnlineUnderstanding, calming, and embracing your anxious mind
Join us for a practical half-day retreat (in person or online) on working with anxiety, fear, and worry.
Together, we’ll explore how Buddhist teachings and simple nervous-system practices can help us unhook from anxious thought loops and meet our experience in a healthy, grounded way. We’ll discover powerful perspective shifts that can help us experience greater freedom and clarity.
Over two sessions of teaching and guided meditation, we’ll explore how anxious loops arise and discover ways to respond without creating further resistance and difficulty, whether your anxiety stems from daily worries, work stress, financial concerns, health issues, relationships, or larger issues like the environment or politics.
We hope to create a welcoming, down-to-earth space to practise alongside like-minded people. We hope you’ll leave feeling inspired and more at ease, with new tools to support you in everyday life.
