 What to expect in a class

Introductory classes begin with a simple guided meditation to reduce stress, tension, and distractions.

This short meditation is followed by a talk on how to apply Buddhist principles in daily life. This may include topics such as improving relationships, gaining peace of mind, learning to love, and dealing with anger.

There is then a second short guided meditation designed to help us gain deeper experience of the subject of the class.

Finally the class then breaks for a short informal discussion, followed by a question and answer session. 

After the class

After the class enjoy light refreshments while relaxing or discussing the ideas presented in the teaching.
