Introduction to Meditation and Buddhism

Tuesdays 7pm – 9:15pm for 7 weeks starting 13 April

Seeking freedom? That’s what the Buddha offered us! Freedom: however we interpret the word!

This course will bring togther the Buddha’s path to freedom with the two meditations taught by the Buddha.

We will spend time each week learning and practising meditation together with exploring Buddhist teachings that take us from where we are to where we aspire to be - from who we are now to our highest aspirations.
