Women's Study
If you are a woman* who has some familiarity with the Dharma and meditation from attending another class at the Sydney Buddhist Centre or coming on one of our retreats, and you are feeling curious about taking your Dharma practice deeper, this group is for you!
The evening takes place in two halves. In the first half there is a meditation practice of either Mindfulness of Breathing or Mettā Bhāvanā. The practice is not led in detail, so this evening is best suited to those who are already familiar with both these practices.
After a short break, there will be dharma discussion exploring a particular aspect of Buddhism. We typically cover topics in a series along a particular theme. The night will run on a “drop in” basis, but to get the most out of the experience, we encourage you to come to as many weeks as you can.
* anyone who identifies as a woman.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to book?
This is a drop in class so no need to book, though to get the most our out of the study we recommend attending for as many of the 8 nights as possible.
Can I come just for the meditation, or just for the dharma session?
It is best to stay for the whole evening.
Do I need to be a Buddhist or have practiced meditation before?
The class is most suitable for those who have attended our centre or retreats before, and have some knowledge of Buddhism and the meditations we teach.
How much does the class cost?
We don't charge a fixed price for our classes but instead invite you to make a donation to the centre to help us cover our running costs.
A donation of $10-20 would help us to cover our costs, but everyone is equally welcome, even if you cannot give anything at all.
