Meditation drop-in classes

This class is suitable for complete beginners or for those with some experience of meditation. The class runs throughout the year.

Class times
Tuesdays: 1.05 - 1.55pm & 7.30 - 8.30pm
Fridays: 1.05 - 1.55pm (from 6th March 2009 onwards)

We teach two meditations at the Nottingham Centre. The 'mindfulness of breathing' is a meditation for developing clarity and awareness. The 'metta bhavana' is a practice for transforming our emotions, and for cultivating positivity and openness towards ourselves and others.

You can come to the class for one week, or keep coming for a number of weeks to gain a fuller experience of meditation. There's no need to book, just turn up at the Buddhist Centre. If you want more information please contact us.

Suggested donation: £3
