We are delighted to present next term’s Calm Abiding Meditation Courses. Meditation is an incredibly effective way to navigate life’s challenges, as it addresses the very mind that encounters them.

Meditation is truly the greatest gift we can give ourselves.

Course Details
Our courses run for 8 weeks:

Thursday Night Course: 20 February - 10 April, 6-8pm
Friday Daytime Course: 21 February - 11 April, 9.30 - 11.30am

Each weekly session will offer:

An opportunity for Q&A

Through meditation, you’ll learn techniques to cultivate presence, stillness, and calm. These practices help you connect with your innate qualities of care, compassion, strength, acceptance, and wisdom—enhancing your confidence and resilience to embrace life’s challenges with greater ease.
