"When we become aware of things as they really are, we become a whole new kind of creature." - Maitreyabandhu
In this eight-week Buddhist mindfulness course, we'll be exploring how we can pay closer attention to our experiences.
Each week, we'll introduce a different aspect of mindfulness – such as awareness of the body, feelings, thoughts and the environment – and recommend a number of easy practices; from trying out a simple meditation to reading a poem.
Every Thursday | 7.15 - 9.30pm
Come and practice with a community of meditators, whether you're brand new to meditation or looking to deepen an existing practice.
We teach two main meditation practices, the Mindfulness of Breathing and the Metta Bhavana (or cultivation of loving-kindness). These two complementary practices help us to develop awareness, integration, tranquility and positive emotion.
Open to all levels of experience. No need to book, just drop in!

Celebrate Dr Ambedkar and the Great Conversion with us!
In 1956, Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar, along with hundreds of thousands of followers, converted to Buddhism. This started a Dhamma Revolution, lifting millions of people out of the oppressive caste system and enabling lives of dignity and meaning, free from discrimination.
Join us in celebration and be part of the living force of the Dhamma Revolution that started in India in 1956 and is still gathering momentum today in 2025!
There will be a keynote talk by special guest, Nagabodhi, as part of the day too.
