Local meditation groups
Classes and groups for beginners and experienced meditators are currently held in England, Wales, Northern Ireland, Ireland, and North America. In local beginners' groups, a basic meditation technique is taught at weekly classes over a period of six to nine months, along with some theory to support the development of meditation practice. This includes personal face to face meetings with a teacher. In accordance with the tradition of this practice, there is no charge for the teaching, but local groups may ask for a donation towards the costs of room hire and refreshments. An online course in mindfulness of breathing to develop calm is available for those unable to reach a class - click here for details.
