An oasis of calm in a busy city
Helping to transform life through Meditation, Buddhism, Mindfulness and Yoga.

The Centre is open every day for drop-in meditation and yoga and classes. No need to book in advance.
We also offer a range of courses which can be booked here on the website or over the phone or in-person at our reception desk.
Disabilty access: All of our entrances and doors are step-free and wheelchair accessible and we have a lift to all floors. We have a portable hearing loop system available on request.
