New Year, New Direction (from Jan 6)

Drop-in Meditation Classes

In-person & Livestream

Day & Evening Classes Tuesdays to Saturdays

Learn to be more peaceful, positive and happy in 2026. Start the New Year with positive intentions for the year ahead.  Many people resolve to begin the New Year with a programme for improving their physical health.  In these meditation classes you can learn to develop a healthier, happier mind and improve your mental health and spiritual wellbeing.

True happiness cannot be attained by ever increasing control over our external world. Step back from your normal activities and focus on solving your problems through meditation practice, using powerful techniques practised for thousands of years.

In these classes we will learn meditations and methods drawn from the Buddhist tradition for developing and maintaining peace of mind.

Classes cost £6 per session or free with our monthly membership programme.
Our monthly membership programme offers free access to all in-person & livestream weekly classes as well as discounts on courses for only £20 per month – Learn more.
