Guided Meditations to suit all levels of experience (and none)
Saturday Morning Meditation
Saturday mornings all through the year

Meditating with like-minded people can be much easier than meditating alone, especially when the meditation is gently guided. And whether you are a regular meditator or a complete beginner, you will be very welcome to join us at our friendly Saturday Morning session.
We practise two meditations each week with a tea break in between. We suggest a donation of £5 - £10 for this class. York Buddhist Centre has no outside income and no one is paid. All donations go towards paying our rent and other expenses.

An Introduction to Meditation
Find More Peace in Your Life
Have you noticed how busy your mind is?
For most people, thoughts come and go in a torrent. Busy minds use up energy and constantly propel us from one difficult mental state to another. Regular meditation practice helps us to deal more easily with whatever life throws at us
day by day. It also helps us to be kinder and more positive towards ourselves and others
In this four-week course you will learn three meditations: Mindfulness of the Body, Mindfulness of Breathing and Loving-Kindness Meditation Everyone over 18 is welcome (you don't have to be a Buddhist or wish to become one).
