                                                  About the classes
                                                  Classes are suitable for both beginners and experienced meditators. Everyone is welcome. During the classes the teacher will explain how to meditate and will give practical instructions on how to use meditation to reduce stress and other problems encountered in daily life. Most classes run for an hour and a half. We meditate sitting on chairs to ensure that everyone is comfortable. There is no physical exercise involved.

                                                  The general structure of the class
                                                  * Short Buddhist prayers to prepare for meditation
                                                  * Simple guided meditation
                                                  * Teaching on how to solve problems in daily life
                                                  * Another meditation or questions & answers

                                                  Attending the class

                                                  The classes are organized as short courses, usually between 3 to 6 weeks long. Check the calendar for dates. You can attend the whole course or simply drop in whenever you can as each class is self-contained, or you can just come along to try a session.

                                                  You do not need to book in advance, simply find a branch near you and pay when you arrive. If you would like more information or help, please contact us.
