These meditation classes are suitable for all levels of experience and are run throughout the year as part of what is called the General Programme (GP).
What Happens at a GP Meditation Class?
The classes include two guided meditations and y an explanation on how meditation can be applied to solve daily problems.
The classes are presented as part of a course based around an aspect of Buddhist teachings. However the classes are self-contained so it is fine to attend individual meditation classes.
There is a facility fee of £6 per class and £3 for lunchtime meditations. If you regularly attend classes and courses, our Monthly Membership Programme, which is £20, offers access to all the drop in classes and a discounts on workshops, day courses, and day retreats.
Current Meditation Course
Classes from January until April are based on the book How to Solve Our Human Problem. Between May and August the classes are based on the book How to Understand the Mind. While from September until December the classes are be based on the book Transform Your Life. They all focus on how to attain lasting peace of mind.

What to bring to the Meditation Classes
You do not need to wear special clothes to meditate. During the classes we sit on chairs, or you are welcome to bring a cushion to sit on if you prefer (cushions are only provided at the Keighley and Burnley centres). Some people bring a pen and paper to note down any thoughts they may have during the teaching and discussion, but this is entirely up to you.
