Positive Outlook

Thursdays 7pm – 8.15pm

February 12, 19, 26

Positive Outlook

How do we keep a positive outlook when problems and difficulties arise? How do we keep smiling though the rain and storms of life?

Join us for these classes looking at how we can develop an understanding of why good and bad things happen in our lives and how our mind influences how we feel when “life happens”. Through a little understanding and some effort in meditation we can start to change our normal responses, feelings and actions by applying these straightforward lessons. We will explore the way in which we can seek the safety and security of a peaceful space in our own minds and how we can influence our experiences of life’s events through training our minds.

These classes are suitable for everyone, and no previous experience is needed. You can start coming to classes at any time and can attend as many or few as you prefer as each class is self-contained. Everyone is welcome.

Finding Freedom

Thursdays 7pm – 8.15pm

March 5, 12, 19, 26

April 2

Finding Freedom

Discover the ways in which we can find an inner freedom leading us to a deep peace of mind and boundless joy and happiness. Through these classes, all of which are self-contained, we will come to see that a happy mind is possible in any situation. Understanding what we need to let go of and what is helpful to keep within our “mind’s eye”, we will naturally start to experience a happy state of mind which becomes only stronger.

Letting go will free us from the thoughts and feelings which weigh us down, and when we combine this with a positive attitude towards others, their needs and problems, seeing how they are no different to our own troubles, we will feel freer and happier.

These classes will give us the practical knowledge and the skills in meditation to develop these positive states of mind, helping to free us from the constraints of our current, unhelpful views and ways of thinking.

No previous experience is needed and these classes are suitable for everyone. You can start coming to classes at any time and can attend as many or few as you prefer as each class is self-contained. Everyone is welcome.

Meditations for Mental Health & Wellbeing

Thursdays, 7pm–8.15pm

April 16, 23, 30 and May 7, 14, 21


Meditations for Mental Health & Wellbeing

Happiness and unhappiness are feelings, a part of our mind, and when we improve our understanding of this, we will start to move towards a truly happy mind, free from suffering. A simple yet profound, tried and tested set of meditations can start us on this journey.

In these classes we will be learning how training in the mind of love, the wish for others to be happy, not only brings us closer to other and fosters harmonious relationships, but actually reduces our own unhappiness. When our sometimes hampering sense of self-concern starts to be “burnt away” with these practical meditations, our mood will lift and we will experience the space in our mind to be able to care for our own wellbeing in a very positive and helpful way. This not only helps us, but others too. Everyone will benefit from our engaging in these powerful meditations.

These classes are suitable for everyone, no previous experience necessary. Starts at any time, each class is self-contained. Everyone is welcome.

Easy Life

Making life easier doesn’t have to be hard! We can learn to develop positive minds of love and compassion through meditation. But it works both ways. By cultivating genuine compassion for others, we open our hearts, which leads to greater inner peace and resilience in the face of our own difficulties: making life easy.
