Meditation for Beginners Six Day Courses
This year we offer two six day meditation courses for beginners. The classes will take place in the Dhamma Hall on six consecutive Sundays from 5:30 to 6:30 pm (before Sunday evening puja). The first course will start on Sunday the 23rd of May and will be led by Kath Jones; the second course will start on Sunday the 8th of August and will be led by Ajahn Abhinando. Everyone is welcome and no booking is necessary.

Silent Practice Day
This year Ajahn Abhinando will be leading the Silent Practice Days which will take place on Sundays indicated on the calendar (usually every 3rd Sunday of the month). There will be silent walking and sitting from 2 to 5 pm and an opportunity for questions and discussion at 5:30 pm.

Lay Discussion Group
The lay discussion group usually meets on the second Sunday of every month at 5:30pm. This laypersons’ discussion group explores the practice of Buddhism both inside and outside meditation. Newcomers as well as regular supporters are welcome. We begin with a short meditation followed by a discussion or questions and answers about the teaching in relation to our daily lives, and to learn more about monastic life. Tea is served and we aim to finish in good time for the evening chanting and meditation at 7.00pm. If you are interested or have any queries please contact Penny Wakefield on 01670 788 596.

Sunday Tea
Sunday Tea takes place every Sunday at 5:30pm (except for those Sundays on which the lay discussion group meets). It is an opportunity to meet with a Sangha member for a discussion on Dhamma.
