Darlington Friday
Meditation Classes
These classes run every week from w/c 7th January - 25th July except for a two week break for Easter - you're welcome to join at any time.
These classes in Durham, Middlesbrough, Norton, Richmond and Saltburn are part of our
'General Programme' and consist of guided meditations, a short talk
and discussion followed by refreshments. These classes provide a
wide-ranging introduction to meditation - the emphasis being on how
to start and maintain a personal meditation practice and how to
integrate this into our daily life. Topics may cover how to
overcome stress and anger, improving relationships and increasing
our confidence and mental well-being.
You
are welcome to drop-in at any time. Don't worry if you
miss a few classes!
No booking is necessary for these classes. The fee is £4.50 per class.
