About Meditation - with Jackie Leone
Tuesdays: from 21 July
7pm – 8pm
In the coming weeks we will look at all aspects of meditation. After all – Buddhism without meditation is just philosophy and theory!
We will discover how the Dharma contributes to our practice, and how through the teachings we become acquainted with the workings of our mind. In this way, we will learn how to navigate our lives more skilfully, with grace and compassion.
Beginners are welcome, as well as those who are already on the path.
Cost: Free for members, R60 for visitors

Sunday End of the Month Retreat
9am - 1pm
Led by Barry Stott
Next date: Sunday 26 July
A wonderful opportunity to come together and meditate as a sangha. These morning retreats take place on the last Sunday of the month whenever possible – an opportunity for meditators to deepen their meditation practice.
Practitioners of all levels are welcome and the morning alternates between easy going 30-minute meditation sessions, walking meditation and a tea break. We often finish with a short, guided compassion practice.
Noble silence is observed throughout the morning but discussion on aspects of meditation or your observations are welcomed.
Cost: Non-members R60, Members no cost.
