Beginners Samatha Meditation Class in Richmond upon Thames

Samatha is a traditional breathing mindfulness meditation technique designed to calm the mind.  We teach a structured version with a series of stages that normally takes about six months to learn. It is Buddhist in origin but suitable for all.
