See our Festive Programme of events at the Centre betweeen Wednesday 24th December 2025 and Thursday 1st January 2026.
We'll be taking a break from our usual programme over the festive period, so there will be no meditation drop-ins, classes or courses. Instead we'll be offering a special Festive Programme - one session a day with our team and teachers for a special event.
We hope you'll come and join us!
