Be the change you want to see in the world

The Ham Meditation Group meet at The Annex of Ham Library fortnightly on Monday evenings from 8pm till 9.15pm.

Coming together and meditating in a group can be a refuge of peace and a beautiful way to spend time with other people.

Practicing breathing and body relaxation can help to:

  • Still the mind and improve concentration.
  • Help us respond to difficult situations with a clearer mind and a more skillful approach.
  • Encourage mindfulness in our everyday life, to make a difference in the world towards a more peaceful, fairer, safer, and sustainable future.

What to expect

 Every meeting is led by a pre-agreed member of the group and follows the same structure. 

  • Welcome and check in
  • Introductions of the topic for the evening
  • Guided meditation
  • Reading from a chosen Buddhist or mindfulness book.
  • Silent meditation
  • Mindful speaking and listening about the topic
  • Guided closing compassion meditation. 

The classes are inspired by Buddhist mindfulness teaching, but people from all spiritual paths or no paths are welcome.

There is no need to have meditated before.
