Weekly gatherings

Tuesdays, 2:00 pm–3:30 pm

Guided sitting and walking practice on Wednesday evenings. Fully guided from the beginning, so complete beginners are welcome any week.

Led by rotating facilitators

Sundays, 9:00 am–11:00 am

A weekly class for children, running alongside Sunday puja so families can come together. Stories, discussion, and simple mindfulness.

Led by youth education volunteers

Fridays, 8:00 pm–9:30 pm

Reading the discourses closely, in English, on Friday evenings. Discussion-led rather than lecture-led — bring your disagreements.

Led by open discussion
