This term we explore the Metta Bhavana practice through short introductions, experiential exercises and led meditations. The class also offers an opportunity to share and reflect on our meditation experience through an open format ‘conversation’ after the meditation.

1-2pm is a led meditation class. From 2 until 2:30pm there is an opportunity to discuss your meditation practice with others.

Open to those who have completed the intro courses and are more...

The shape of sangha works is a gentle group check in, followed by sangha-building devotional acts-such as cleaning the loo’s, planting bulbs, sorting library books, making book displays and making shrines. A task to fit each persons energy and capacity.

We have a mindfulness bell, to pause and notice what the mind is up to, throughout  the session. Stay on after the lunchtime meditation class (1-2.30pm)  or just turn up to dip your toe into the Triratna sangha more...

Our beginners classes are a great way to sample meditation for the first time or to get refreshing support and clarity to help you set up a regular practice.

Full instructions will be given including how to sit comfortably in a chair or on cushions on the floor. We’ll introduce our meditation practices, one each week – either the mindfulness of breathing which develops calm, focus and wholeheartedness, or a loving kindness (metta bhavana) meditation which develops emotional more...

The late Buddhist teacher Ayya Khema described the Brahma Viharas as “the only emotions worth having.” So this summer we are delighted to bring you a series of events on these four prized emotions (or mindstates) that give us a helpful framework to cultivate positive behaviours and minimize harmful ones. The events will be spread over four summer evenings, covering one on each of the Brahma Viharas: loving kindness (metta), compassion (karuna), sympathetic joy (mudita) and equanimity more...

Our tradition places great emphasis on building Sangha (a friendly community of individuals practising the Dharma, the Buddha’s teachings, alongside each other). Possibly because of the experience of the pandemic we may be noticing how we are by nature social creatures: We need each other to know ourselves. This is a safe and open space in which to be with others to bring kind attention to how we relate to others and just as importantly, ourselves.

In the first of three going deeper meditation mornings on the image of the Blue Sky we look at the Blue Sky as a metaphor for mind or Awareness. We will explore how the shift from relating to each moment as a particular experience to seeing each moment as a moment of awareness enables us to recognize the quality of awareness permeating all experience just as the unobstructed blue sky permeates whatever clouds are in it.

Doors open at 9:45 for a 10am start
