Think Better, Feel Better
Wednesday Morning Drop-in classes
A powerful truth to understand is that our thoughts shape our world. They influence how we feel, how we experience ourselves and others, and ultimately how we navigate life. By learning to think in healthier ways, we can naturally begin to feel better - gaining the inner strength to handle daily challenges and the ability to support those around us with greater understanding and compassion.
Each class in this series is self-contained, so you are welcome to join at any point. After each class, you are invited to join us in our community room for by complimentary refreshments and the opportunity to ask questions. We also have many books and other meditation materials available at our Temple shop to help you deepen your understanding and meditation experience through further reading. You do not need to be a Buddhist to attend, and no previous experience of meditation is required. Everybody is welcome!

Crawford Street may be closed during March and April 2025 due to road works. Parking spaces in the neighbourhood will be very limited. For this reason, it is easier to come by public transport if this is an option for you.
It is possible to find parking further away in the nearby streets. Please allow more travel time.
However, it is generally not possible to park for more than 3 hours during the day. It is necessary to have a permit in order to park overnight in the area.
Temporary day parking spots nearby: Green P Parking.
