About the evening
The evening is a combination of meditation, inner exploration and relaxation done in connection with others.

  • We start with a grounding practice and some movement to release tension from your body, followed by a guided meditation to calm your mind.
  • Mid evening there's a 20 minute refreshment break, giving time to chat with others at the class.
  • The second half explores a different theme each week which leads into a second guided meditation.
  • The room is heated and warm.

About the Teacher
The sessions are led by Nick, who has over 30 years of meditation experience and lived for 7 years as a Buddhist monk. Central to this monastic training was the principle that our freedom lies in our ability to choose our response to life rather than react to external situations.
