Discover the scientifically proven effects of mindfulness to improve your physical and mental wellbeing.
Learning mindfulness shows how paying attention to your experience in a non-judgemental way can help you to face stressful situations with increased confidence.
Our courses are led by Ruchiraketu who has over 40 years' experience of teaching meditation. He holds an MA degree in Mindfulness Based Approaches and teaches on the Masters programme at Bangor university.
Tuesdays | 13 Jan - 17 Feb | 7.15 - 9.30pm
Transform your life
This six-week course is one of the best ways to get a grounding in some key Buddhist principles and introduces you to meditation practices that cultivate mindful self-awareness and insight.
You’ll learn the Mindfulness of Breathing – said to be the practice the Buddha was doing on the night of his Enlightenment.
Saturdays & Thursdays | 10 Jan - 31 Jan | 7.15 - 9.30pm
Change your mind, change your life
Give your New Year a kickstart by transforming yourself through 21 days of meditation and mindfulness, culminating in a day retreat at the end of January.
Amidst a turning world with many challenges, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and powerless, yet the one part of reality that we can always change is ourselves.
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!
Fri 9 Jan | 7.15 - 9.30 pm
Join the Sub30's and Full Moon Puja teams for a special evening dedicated to Milarepa—poet, mystic, and embodiment of transformation.
Please note - the timings will differ from usual Full Moon Pujas due to this collaboration. Doors will open at 7pm for a 7.15pm start.
Sat 17 Jan | 2pm - 5pm
Join us for a new film screening and friendly discussion series
Inspired by Dean Sluyter’s book ‘Cinema Nirvana’, we will be showing three very famous Hollywood movies, which, if looked at through the lens of the Dharma, we may be surprised to find contain Buddhist messages.
In our first week we will be showing ‘The Truman Show’ and perhaps asking if his is the only false reality, or if there is ‘The Every-single-one-of-us Show’?
Explore and discuss movies – or just watch a great film in wonderful, friendly company – at Cineyama!
