About This Event

understanding Karma 3 week series with discussion | Tuesdays 22 & 29 September, October 6 | 7 – 8.15pm What actually is karma — and how does understanding it change the way we live? This three-week evening class will explore the Buddhist view of karma. Through understanding karma we can realise it’s not fate and it’s not superstition, but instead it is the precise relationship between our actions and our experiences. Over three weeks we’ll explore where our habits and patterns really come from, why some things keep repeating in our lives, and how we can start working with cause and effect to create a positive future instead of feeling like life just happens to us. Each session includes teaching, two guided meditations, and time for discussion — a proper chance to get into the questions this topic raises, not just hear about it. No previous experience necessary. Drop in to any single week, or join for the whole series. Everyone is warmly welcome. Each class includes 2 guided meditations, a practical teaching, and time for discussion. Meditation is done seated in chairs with the option to sit on a mat and cushion if you prefer. This course is perfect for anyone wishing to deepen their meditation practice. It is possible to drop-in to any class if you cannot attend the whole course. After the class there is tea and biscuits in the cafe provided free of charge for those who would like to stay on and discuss the class or their meditation practice.
