Meditation Foundation Course

Part 1: 6 Mondays, 12 January - 16 February 2026

Profoundly transformative for our hearts as well as minds, Part 1 focuses on instruction in two essential and far-reaching meditation practices: the Mindfulness of Breathing and the Development of Loving Kindness (Metta Bhavana). These practices from the Buddhist tradition encourage a direct and complete engagement with what is really happening in our lives. They encourage focus, clarity, relaxation, confidence, and opening the heart, and give us the tools for a more resourced and vivid life

With time for instruction, practice and discussion, you will be supported with handouts and in setting up a home practice.

To be led by Dhammadassin and Sthiramitra, members of the Triratna Buddhist Order.

Meditation isn't escaping from the world, meditation is becoming more aware of our inner-world. With this awareness we can make choices and move our life in a positive direction. To view the world with more compassion and to act with greater generosity and kindness.

Changing ourselves changes the world!

We will use the practices learned in Part 1 to help us locate and deal with what gets in the way of a more direct, complete, vivid and resourced contact with our experience. Opening up to our own deep potential, we can find and build more inspiring, absorbed and effective states of mind.
