In these drop-in meditation classes we'll explore different ways to view the world that help us to feel peaceful about our life and our relationships. When our mind is peaceful, we feel happy, and we're protected from painful states of mind such as anger and jealousy. Come and learn how making a simple change in the way we think can lead to positive feelings in our heart, and can also lead to major positive changes in our world.
Each class is self-contained, so feel free to join us at any time.
Each class will offer 2 guided meditations and a different practical talk.
No previous experience in required. Everybody is welcome!

St. John's classes
As conscientious Dharma practitioners, we should observe our own shortcomings instead of being preoccupied with those of other people.
