Ever wondered about the potential benefits of meditation for your health and emotional well-being?

If you have, then Wellington Buddhist Centre has something right up your alley; a “Meditations for Self Awareness" course on Sunday, November 16.

“It's the perfect opportunity for newcomers, those who are interested in meditation but maybe haven't tried it out yet, to learn and practice a variety of meditation types,” course presenter Ven Choden from the Tharpa Choeling facility recently revealed.

“It's also a great refresher for more experienced meditators,” she added.

The program will be presented by Ven Choden in the meditation room at Wellington Buddhist Centre in Arthur Street, she revealed.

“The program and meditations were written by our Resident Teacher Genla Venerable Thubten Tenzin, and the workshop is suitable for both adults and teenagers,” Ven Choden said.

“The aim is to become more aware, moving from simple forms of attentive awareness, to greater, more expansive awareness,” she concluded.

The workshop is by donation and, although bookings aren't required, inquiries are welcome at the centre. A vegetarian lunch will also be provided!
