MEDITATION COURSES
​
Our meditation courses are meant for beginners as well as for more advanced meditators. Although our groups are mostly made up of first-time meditators, there are also those who have already practiced meditation and are seeking another technique. There are as well those who wish to take the course for the second or third time in order to improve their meditative skills. You can check at the full schedule to see when starts the next Meditation Course (usually 10 weeks). Each course will include some instructions, time for group practice and time at the end for questions.
