Meditation classes

Mindfulness Meditation Instruction

These classes are open to the general public. However, as instruction will be ongoing, and out of respect to other students and the teacher, you must first contact the webmaster at chittamanitara@hotmail.com to ensure that your experience is meaningful. All newcomers will be directed to the Thursday beginner class, attendance to the Tuesday class requires that students have attended on Thursdays for some time first. Dropping in unannounced is strongly discouraged as events not suitable to new attendees may be planned. There is no fee, but donations are welcome. These classes are directed by Dr Bob Kapitany, who has been a serious Dharma practitioner for 40 years and provides training in Vipassana and Vajrayana practice.
