What Happens at a Class
The classes generally start with a relaxation meditation to help both our mind and our body to settle down and be peaceful and comfortable.The teacher will explain how to meditate and will give practical advice during the class. He or she will give a talk based on Buddha's teachings that will explain how to put meditation into practice in daily life in order to increase our own and others happiness.
There will be a chance to discuss and ask questions, and after the class there will be light refreshments offered and the opportunity to talk with the teacher.
You do not need to be a Buddhist to attend the classes, or to benefit from the techniques taught. Everyone is welcome. The classes are suitable for both beginners and experienced meditators.
The classes are often organized as short courses, usually around 5 or 6 weeks long. It is best to attend complete courses, but you can attend occasionally if you prefer. The classes are easy to follow and are self-contained so you do not need any prior knowledge or experience.
