What to expect at the classes:
All the classes are taught by qualified, experienced meditation teachers.
Classes are suitable for all levels and begin with a guided meditation followed by a talk on how we can apply it to our daily life, followed by a final meditation. The classes are based on Buddhist teachings but you don’t need to be Buddhist to attend. Seating is on chairs and you don’t need to wear any special clothing.
You can attend in person which energises our meditation practise, offers the chance to meet like-minded people and deepens our understanding by being able to ask questions afterwards.
Vajrapani Centre is a registered charity, mainly run by volunteers.
Everyone is welcome
