You will be given full instruction.

Meditation Day Retreat - Beginners Welcome
Location not specified yetThe Buddha described four qualities of the heart as the Brahma Viharas, the "heavenly abodes" or "divine dwellings":
- loving-kindness (metta)
- compassion (karuna)
- sympathetic joy (mudita)
- equanimity (upekkha)
They are not reserved for saints. They are natural capacities that we can all cultivate, and each one opens the heart a little wider.
Loving-kindness wishes others well. Compassion meets suffering with tenderness rather than turning away. Sympathetic joy delights in the happiness and success of others, even when it isn't ours. Equanimity brings a steady, spacious balance, so we can care deeply without being knocked over.
Together they offer a radical alternative to habitual reactivity, self-concern and indifference. They are a way of meeting ourselves and the world with warmth, courage and freedom.
This day retreat is an opportunity to explore and practise all four. There will be guided meditations on each of the Brahma Viharas, along with teaching and time to reflect in pairs or small groups. There will also be space for questions and shared exploration throughout the day.
The day is open to all adults, whatever your previous experience, including complete beginners. Please bring some food to share for a vegetarian/vegan lunch. Teas and coffee are provided.
There is no charge, and donations on the day are welcome.
Please book by emailing hertsbuddhistmeditation@gmail.com. The booking deadline is 12pm on Saturday 10th October.3 attendees
Learn to meditate with us - No charge - No Commitment - Beginners Very Welcome
Millbridge Rooms,, Maidenhead Yard, Hertford SG14 1PT, GBDiscover Meditation. Find Your People. Change Your Life.
What if one Tuesday evening changed everything?
At the Hertford Buddhist Group, we come together to learn and practise meditation — and to build something rarer than that: a genuine community of people who care about living with more meaning, depth, kindness, and connection.
You don't need to be a Buddhist. You don't need to know anything at all. You just need to be curious.
What to expect: A warm welcome, full meditation instruction for beginners, rich discussion, a tea break, and the kind of conversation you rarely get anywhere else. We meet every Tuesday, 7.30pm–9.30pm at the Millbridge Rooms (opposite Hertford Theatre). Please arrive between 7.00 and 7.15pm.
There is no charge. Ever. You are able to give a donation to help cover our cost if you want to.
Each session has its own flavour — sometimes more meditation-focused, sometimes more discussion-based, sometimes led by different voices in our community. We like variety. We like depth. We like people who ask big questions.
We typically welcome 20–30 people each week — Meetup RSVPs don't tell the whole story, so don't let a low number put you off. Just come.
