Our Meditation Classes
We offer meditation classes from our main Centre in Guelph. Due to covid-19 restrictions, we are not offering branch classes in London, Stratford, Kitchener, Georgetown or Cambridge at this time. We will resume those classes when restrictions relax in the late Fall.
In the meantime we invite people to attend our classes online. Or if you would like to join us at the Centre, you are welcome to attend our classes in person.
Our Sunday afternoon and Wednesday evening classes cover a different topic or ‘series’ each month. The Sunday class and the Wednesday class weekly topic is the same. Each series looks at an aspect of Buddha’s teaching with advice on how to practically integrate the wisdom and experience of that teaching into our daily life. By practically applying Buddha’s wisdom into our daily life we will experience the benefits of meditation and overcome the negative feelings and thoughts that continuously bring us down.
Our Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday classes this summer are drop-in. You can drop-in to any class. If you are attending onsite you have the option to buy a ticket online or at the door. At the Centre you also have the option to buy a series pass, a card that will cover the payment for 4 classes of your choice. Or if you would like to attend classes, regularly sign up for a monthly membership that will cover all your classes with one payment.
Always keep a smiling face and a loving mind and speak truthfully without malice.
