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
In today’s fast-paced world, stress and burnout have become all too familiar. So, how can we find peace and balance amidst life’s demands?
Join visiting meditation teacher, David Oromith, for an engaging and practical talk on handling stress and burnout.
Drawing on Buddhist psychology and his own journey through depression, anxiety, and burnout, David will share:
- why the modern stress-cycle is so relentless – and what breaks it
- the three layers of burnout – and ways to heal them
- quick resets you can use at your desk or on the train
- how acceptance and self-kindness help you bounce back when things go wrong
David guides with warmth, humour, and the disarming honesty of someone who’s walking this path himself. There’s no jargon and no pressure to “be spiritual” – just practical ideas you can start using straight away.
Who’s it for? Absolutely anyone. Whether you’ve never tried meditation or you already practise every day, you’re welcome.
Come for friendly conversation, fresh perspective, and a cuppa. Leave with methods for a calmer, more balanced life.
Even if you have RSVPd on Meetup, please book here in advance if you can - this helps us prepare ahead for refreshments: Navigating Stress & Burnout - Buddhist Insights for a Happier Life - Samadhi
What We’ll Explore
- Learn about causes and remedies for stress & burnout.
- Explore how to handle stress and also nurture genuine happiness and wellbeing in daily life.
- Experience stillness and calm through easy-to-follow guided meditations.
- An opportunity to ask questions, and share and learn with like-minded friends.

- The Art of Emotional Balance: Mindful Toolkit for Difficult EmotionsKagyu Samye Dzong London Tibetan Buddhist Meditation Centre, Greater London
Life has its ups and downs, and for many, even an ordinary day can lead to one emotional rollercoaster after another.
This one-day, three-part workshop blends together Buddhism, psychology, modern contemplative science, and practical meditation tools to:
- demystify what emotions are and how they function
- map the timeline of an emotional episode so you can introduce awareness into your emotions
- practise RAIN and other evidence-based methods for meeting difficult emotions with clarity and kindness
- learn self-discernment and self-discipline - twin skills that turn automatic reaction into considered response
- build a personal toolkit for emotional regulation, working with hot triggers, and enhancing personal wellbeing
Expect teachings, guided meditation, group dialogue, and plenty of time for questions. You’ll leave with concrete practices you can apply the very same day to steady the nervous system, ease reactivity, and discover greater emotional freedom in daily life.
#### About our London Day Retreats
These Buddhist meditation day retreats, which can be attended online or in-person, offer the opportunity to discover what meditation and Buddhist mind training can do for mental well-being and to meet and share with like-minded people.
The sessions are perfect for both beginners and those with more experience. We hope to provide you with the foundation for developing your own regular meditation practice, and help you develop tools that reduce stress, anxiety and worry; and nurture a happier, calmer, and more positive approach to life.
