The group is suitable for GSRD people new to meditation and those with an established meditation practice.
Our use of Gender, Sex and Relationship Diversity (GSRD) reflects our current understanding of marginalised identities, including people on the gender spectrum who might identify as trans,
agender, bi-gender, crossdressers, genderqueer, gender fluid, and non-binary. Sexual orientation/identities: including lesbian, gay, bi- and pan-sexual and those on the asexual spectrum. We include people on the aromantic (aro) spectrum, people in multi-partnered relationships as well as those in ‘monogamish’ forms of partnership.
The group is led by GSRD Buddhists offering a supportive space for meditation and an opportunity to connect with other GSRD people. We include guidance on meditation and talks on Buddhist themes and principles and often Buddhist ritual.
We do not charge for our classes but encourage the Buddhist principle of Dana.
In translation Dana means Generosity much need it to cover cost of running the building and our classes.

Saturday morning drop-in meditation class
2028-12-30 11:00 - 12:30
This is an open class with fully led practices. We start with an introduction to the mindfulness of breathing and a guided 30 minute practice. Then we do a 20 minute walking meditation. There is a short practical Dharma talk or mantra which leads us into the Metta Bhavana Practice. The session concludes with transference of merit. The practices flow into one another and the whole session offers an opportunity to unwind and be receptive to whatever is present.

Meditation Review Group for Order Members and Mitras with Dhamavasita
2029-01-02 18:00 - 19:15
Dear Friends,
I have started a monthly drop-in group to give us a chance to talk about meditation practice.
It’s a very simple evening where we meet and do a short unlead practice. I usually invite participants to do the practice that they most regularly do.
Depending on the size of the group, we will afterwards talk about the practice that we have done and/or witness inquiry into their practice from a few.
Personally, I’m finding it increasingly useful to regularly and very specifically talk about what I experience within meditation and the question continues to be upfront in my mind. How do we approach talking about practice?
Work in progress. Do come and join us, on the first Tuesday of each month from 6pm to 7.15 pm, in the Garden Shrine Room.
Tuesday June 2nd
Tuesday July 14th (not the 7th this month)
Tuesday August 4th
Tuesday September 1st
Tuesday October 6th
Tuesday November 3rd
Tuesday December 1st
Apologies to the members of the young Sangha as it clashes with your evening. I hope some of you will occasionally choose to come.
Hope to see some of you there.
With love,
Dharmavasita
