London Gay, Bi, Trans Men's Mindfulness Meditation Group

Since 2009, 15‑40 men meet in a warm, inclusive space near Leicester Square to meditate, relax and make friends. No experience needed – we guide you step‑by‑step, and seasoned meditators are welcome.

Why gay‑men choose this space

• Safety & belonging – a private, affirming environment where you can be yourself without judgment, the core need identified by LGBTQ‑focused mindfulness programmes .
• Minority‑stress relief – mindfulness reduces the chronic stress that many gay, bi and queer men face, boosting self‑acceptance and emotional regulation .
• Community‑driven growth – connecting with others who share similar experiences lowers isolation and fosters resilience.
