Meditation in Central London

Every Saturday, just off St Martins Lane in central London, there is a drop-in meditation session between 1 and 2pm. On some Saturdays we run meditation courses, day retreats and Buddhism courses (see below for details.) We teach meditation techniques and Buddhist principles to anyone who wishes to attend and perhaps can't make the classes at our centre in Bethnal Green.

In a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, discover methods and practices designed to help you change your life, and develop greater emotional positivity and awareness. Together with others, investigate how to live a meaningful, ethical and loving life in today's modern world.
