Believe in Change - six week Buddhism Foundation course
The next 6-week introductory course begins on November 7th. You can purchase your ticket and secure your place on the course by clicking on the link below
The course is held each Thursday from 6-7.45pm and costs £65 to attend the full 6 sessions. Please make sure to arrive no later than 6pm, as we can not hear the doorbell from the shrine room.
This course is by pre-booking only. Very sorry, we will not be able to admit anyone who hasn’t booked.
Please talk to us if you require a discounted ticket. We don't wish to turn anybody away for the sake of money.
The sessions will give you:
– two very effective kinds of daily meditation for calm and positivity
– an introduction to real, radical mindfulness, as originally taught by the Buddha
– ethical tools for transforming yourself and the world
– liberating reflections taught by the Buddha on life and reality
– a taste of the sense of belonging as part of a spiritual community.
Booking is for all six sessions. Capacity is limited, so please book if, as far as you know, you are able and willing to come to all six sessions.
