Our Half Day Courses
Our courses are designed to gain deeper experience of practical topics. Each half day course consists of two one hour and fifteen minute sessions with a 30 minute break between sessions, to discuss, ask questions or simply go for a walk.
In each session, there is a teaching, discussion and meditation on a particular topic. By contemplating topics in this way and discussing with our spiritual friends, we increase our own insight or inner wisdom. Through gaining a deeper experience of Buddha’s teachings, we are able to increase the source of our inner peace and happiness.
Everyone is welcome to our half day courses. Currently our courses are held both onsite and online. We hope to see you at a class soon!
