Request meditation class in your area
Meditation classes are closer than you think...
Bodhisattva Kadampa Meditation Centre, a member of IKBU - Internationa Kadampa Buddhist Union, runs an exciting range of meditation classes and courses on Buddhism and meditation throughout the world. Our goal is to give everyone the opportunity to learn about meditation, inner peace, and finding happiness within by providing meditation classes through local branches and groups.
We are always very happy to hear from people (or groups of people) who would like to experience a meditation course in their own local area through our outreach programme.
Reach out...and we'll outreach...
We don't expect people to travel large distances to learn about meditation and for this reason, on request, we will do our best to provide a qualified Meditation Teacher who can give classes in your local town. Our meditation courses are open to everyone, whatever level of interest or experience, and those who practice meditation report the following benefits:
- Improved concentration and focus in daily life
- Less stress, worry & anxiety
- Reduced irritation, anger & frustration
- Greater inner peace & happiness
- Increased confidence & self-esteem
- Improved mental and physical well being
- A positive outlook on life & better relationships
What we can offer...
On request, we can offer a qualified Meditation Teacher (trained at Bodhisattva Kadampa Meditation Centre) and financial support for venue hire, publicity & promotion for an event. We normally begin our courses with a free public talk followed by a short 3 to 4 week course on meditation. If the course is deemed successful (there is continuous regular attendance and it is financially viable) we will then consider running a regular weekly class in your area. This would be our goal.
How you can help...
The best way you can help (if you have the time) is by either assisting at the branch (helping to setup the hired meditation room for the public), distrubtion of publicity (leaflets & posters), or finding a venue. Often local people have local knowledge and we would need your help identifying good venues for the new meditation classes. Also, if you have any skills you would like to share (i.e. event organisation, publicity design) please let us know.
How to apply
It's simple. Fill out a short application form by pressing on the "Submit Request" button below and fill out your details. On receipt of your application there will be a meeting between the managers of BKMC to discuss whether we can proceed with your request and we aim to get back to you within a week with our decision.
We look forward hearing from you and enjoying a new meditation class in your area!
