What to Expect in a Class
Our meditation classes are for anyone interested in learning how to meditate, regardless of background or beliefs. Classes are designed to give a broad introduction to Buddhist meditation, teachings, and practice.
Every class includes a chance to practise meditation. No prior experience, special equipment or special clothes are necessary for our onsite classes – just come as you are, and bring your mask.
Classes are all standalone individual classes that are presented in a series. You do not need to attend the full series to attend a class.

Class Series Topics
Medicine for the Mind
The Buddhist vision for Radiant Mental Health
More and more these days it seems that everyone is “working on my mental health.” So many people are struggling with depression or anxiety, or insecurity or feelings of rejection. But what does it mean to be mentally healthy? What is a fully healthy mind? Do we even have an image of what that would be?
Actual mental health is much more than simply not being depressed or not being anxious. It is much more than simply being able to cope better with life. Through Buddha’s teachings on the mind we are given a vision of a fully healed mind, a vision of radiant mental health.
These classes are based on the books How to Solve Our Human Problems and The New Eight Steps to Happiness. Come along and learn how to make your life deeply meaningful.
Discovering the Mind
Discovering the Wonder of the Mind
We often say, “My mind, my mind,” but if someone were to ask us , “What is the mind?,” we would have no correct answer. This is because we do not understand the nature and function of the mind correctly. In this series of classes we will learn about our different levels of mind, how to transform our mind and how to improve our concentration in meditation.
In this series we will have an opportunity to meditate on the clarity of the mind – a powerful way to create the deep inner peace that we wish for.
These classes are based on the books How to Understand the Mind and The New Eight Steps to Happiness. Come along and learn how to make your life deeply meaningful.
Freedom from Anger and Frustration
Summer Series in July and August
We all know the pain of anger and frustration. At these series of classes learn how to overcome anger and frustration through meditation and find freedom from these painful and destructive minds.
These Buddhist teachings are so practical for modern busy people to put into practice in our daily lives. We will find that these teachings and meditations are particularly powerful for helping us develop a strong, stable, peaceful mind of patient acceptance, thus overcoming our tendency to become stressed, anxious, or angry in difficult situations.
These classes are based on the book How to Solve Our Human Problems.
The classes are presented in a series but each class is stand-alone. You do not need to attend the full series to benefit from the classes.
$12 drop-in | $40 for any 4 classes (series pass) | Free for members
Tickets can be purchased before class through Paypal, Eventbrite or at the door. No registration necessary
The Wednesday evening class is available for livetreasm for centre members.
