Activities

The Sri Chinmoy Centre regularly organises events and activities to help establish a balanced lifestyle of meditation, physical exercise and healthy living, integrating all parts of the being—body, vital, mind, heart and soul—to help bring forward our highest potentials and create a focused, dynamic, inspired and peaceful life. We warmly welcome you to any of the activities on our current programme of events.

Meditation Workshops

The Sri Chinmoy Centre runs series of beginners meditation courses throughout the year. An excellent opportunity to learn the abc’s of meditation, have the uplifting experience of group meditation and to set up or gain inspiration for your personal meditation practise. Every course is different with different questions and different issues being addressed so there is always something new to learn. For information on our free meditation workshops kindly phone or call into The Lotus-Heart to collect the current program of workshops or use our Contact Form to request information.
