How is the Kadampa Meditation Centre different from a meditation app?

Hopefully the picture has already answered this!

Now there's nothing wrong with apps, we have a new one ourselves for people to use.

But it's interesting when people say 'I don't need a meditation centre - I've got an app.'

Something you get when you come to the centre that you can't get from an app:

💟Human connection and friendship
❇️Opportunity to ask questions when you get stuck
😍Teachings that explain the meditations
☕Great coffee and great cake
💚A community of people who care and with all levels of expereince in mediation from one week to 30 years.

Everyone is welcome!

The cafe is open from 11am to 2:30pm Monday to Thursday.

If you'd like to bring a group along for free contact the Centre and we'd be delighted to host you.

In this workshop, Resident Teacher Gen Lekma will explain methods to deal with the inevitability of change and loss in life.

You’ll learn ways to:

💟Accept inevitable change with peace
💟Become more resilient with what can’t be changed
