Meditation & Mindfulness

Simply Meditate, at Lunchtime

Take a peaceful break from your day, and enjoy these deeply relaxing guided meditations and brief advice on how to maintain that sense of inner calm, peace of mind and positive energy throughout your day. In this way we can return to our day with a calm, clear and peaceful mind, feeling genuinely refreshed and re-energised for the rest of the day ahead.

How to Stop Overthinking, and Find Real Happiness

We can all get caught in a loop of overthinking, worry and even catastrophising, whether for a minute, a day or months – it’s human!

Yet there are proven methods of training the mind – that Buddha taught – that people from all walks of life have been training in for centuries to break free from that debilitating habit of mind, over time.

Drop-in on any or all Tuesdays during this extended series, for an evening of guided meditations and practical advice with Kadam Adam, to discover how.

We will also explore how to transform our experience of any and all days – the good days, the tough days – into a life of increasing peace of mind and real happiness by getting to know our mind and changing how we view any and all situations, in a way that leads to deeper peace and joy in everyday life.

Meditation for Daily Life

Our Meditation for Daily Life series provides practical advice on how everyone can learn to meditate. For beginners it will offer guidelines on how to begin a daily meditation practice. This series will also allow those with previous experience develop and deepen their existing practice. We will learn meditations to relax body and mind and achieve inner peace and mental clarity. Through this experience, we will develop an inner resilience in the face of life’s challenges and a kind and patient attitude towards others.

This series also consists of advice on how to integrate our meditation into our busy daily life. We will explore how meditation is not confined to our meditation session; it can permeate our whole life. Seeing how our meditation practice effects our external activities, which in turn affect our meditation, we can learn to create a positive cycle without any gap between meditation and daily life.

This Wednesday evening class is a perfect opportunity to pause, meditate and refresh midweek. Everybody is welcome.

Note: Each class in the series is self-contained, so you can either attend the entire series or drop in to any class, any week. There’s also an opportunity to stay back for a cuppa and chat after class if you wish, in what’s always a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

Peace of Mind - Feeling Secure & Confident

We all want to be happy and to live our life to the fullest. We long to feel free, confident and emotionally secure – finding our place in the world without fear. To live a life with presence and connection.

How is this possible?

Buddha explained how everyone has the potential to live from a more peaceful place in our mind – giving rise to positive energy, confidence, satisfaction and inner peace. As this experience grows, we can overcome our mental discomfort, emotional turbulence, and feelings of sometimes disliking ourself.

We can come to know that we have a choice about how we feel, that we are not trapped inside our own mind, trying to fight away our negative thoughts & emotions or having to hide away from others.

Drop in on Thursday nights for these inspiring talks and meditations.

Finding The Joy, In Everyday Life

Whether you feel you’re in a good place in life – happy and healthy – or not today, this series is all about how we can continually improve on where we’re at today, finding a deeper peace and joy in everyday life.

Just drop-in on any or all Sundays during this new series, for a morning of guided meditations and practical advice with Kadam Adam, to discover how.

Learn practices that people have been training in for centuries, to feel a deeper feeling of connection with others, to grow through the challenging days and find increasing inner peace, presence and happiness in everyday experiences.

Discover, whilst everyday life can feel mundane at times, it doesn’t have to, and whilst this world can be a tough place to be on some days, we really can bring back the joy into our everyday experience of life.
