About this event

Tuesdays & Thursdays

12:15pm – 12:45pm

with guided meditation and teachings on How to Solve our Human Problems

Each class consists of a 15-minute guided meditation with a teaching based on overcoming painful feelings with the deep and profound practice of patience. This very condensed class is a wonderful opportunity to spend a meaningful lunchbreak.

The classes are all drop-in, there is no need to register. Each class is an individual stand-alone class, but it is not necessary to attend all the classes to receive the benefits of the meditations and teachings. Through training in patience in this way, we will be able to develop a deep and lasting experience of inner peace and happiness.

Step back from ‘busyness’ and take with you a sense of clarity and peace when you leave. Lunchtime meditations are for those who don’t have a lot of time. No meditation experience is required. You do not need to bring anything. We have chairs and cushions for you to sit on. No need to register. Just come along.
