The class takes place on Wednesdays at 7.30pm in the Meeting Room at the rear of St Luke's Church in the Avenue, Kew and the teaching is free but donations towards room hire are welcome.

The minimum age for the class is 18. It is suitable for complete beginners or more experienced meditators who wish to refresh their practice.

We teach a traditional breathing mindfulness meditation technique called Samatha (with no 'n') designed to calm and focus the mind and cultivate greater clarity and happiness.

It is a structured technique with a series of stages that normally takes about six months to learn. It is Buddhist in origin but does not require any particular beliefs and is suitable for all.
