EVERY WEDNESDAY
7.15-8.15pm
Come at 6.30pm if you'd like to have a hot meal, or at 7.15pm to meditate.
MEDITATE. RELAX. FIND YOUR PATH
At the Croydon Buddhist Centre, we run weekly drop-in meditation sessions where people can come to meditate, hear down-to-earth Buddhist teachings, and connect over a hot meal. If you’re stressed from work, studies, or the pressures of everyday life, this is a space to slow down, recharge, and find a bit of peace. We all need inspiration and connection. And you don't need to be a Buddhist or have any experience of meditation - just come as you are.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Each session starts with a short talk from the Buddhist tradition, sharing tools to help you deal with life’s ups and downs. That’s followed by a guided meditation to relax your body and clear your mind.
Feel free to come early (at 6.30pm) to share hot food (vegan and gluten-free) and connect with people from the local community.
LED BY
These meditation sessions are led by Viryadeva and a team of experienced Buddhism and meditation teachers.
Viryadeva was ordained into the Triratna Buddhist Order over four years ago, and has been teaching meditation for over a decade. He has also taught and lectured on Buddhism, philosophy and mindfulness at the University of Cambridge, Oxford University, King’s College London and the Royal Academy of Art.
