Like a gentle flowing river

You are welcome to join our five-week introduction to meditation series, Like a Gentle Flowing River from Sunday 20 July.
The course will focus on:
• an introduction to meditation techniques
• how to develop your calm abiding with a focus on relaxation
• the impermanence of life’s worries and problems that are thrown our way
• what is the drama about karma, and
• exploring delusions that can arise and obstruct our practice.
“Our meditation practice should be like a gentle flowing river”, explains Caterina, the Term 3 course teacher.
Course dates are Sundays 20 and 27 July, 3, 24 and 31 August
Life changing – Path to enlightenment
4 – 5.30 pm Sundays from 20 July
2025 Path to Enlightenment classes continue on Sun 22 June with a new 5-week segment focusing on Understanding Karma. Learn more about this 5-week focus on karma here.
One of the special qualities of path to enlightenment texts is that the focus is primarily practical rather than theoretical.
Each subject includes an explanation of how to cultivate meditation to deepen our understanding of it. The practice of the path to enlightenment is life changing.
