The classeses are on Thursday evenings from 7.30pm to 8.45pm at the New Barnet Friends Meeting House (55 Leicester Rd, Barnet, London EN5 5EL). In each session, experience: Guided Meditations: Simple practices designed to cultivate inner calm and clarity. Inner Awareness Techniques: Practical methods to ease daily stress and nurture well-being. Engaging Discussions: An open space to share experiences and ask questions. Thursdays 7.30pm to 8.45pm New series: HEAL YOUR MIND, CHANGE YOUR LIFE - Practical Meditations for Inner Transformation (6 weeks series from 31 Aug) This series offers a clear and practical path for working at that level. By learning to recognise and gradually transform negative mental habits — such as attachment, anger, and self-cherishing — and replacing them with positive states, we begin to transform our experience from the inside out. This is the essence of training the mind: not suppressing emotions, but understanding them and gradually freeing the mind from their control.
