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