With the exception of OM Healing which is open to all, the meditation sessions listed above, both in-person and online, are only open to invited members and students ie. not for newcomers. No booking is required but students wishing to attend for the first time must consult with the Centre in advance.
The Centre’s complete calendar can be viewed in table format.
MEDITATION TUITION: Dhyana Yoga courses and workshops
Learning meditation as a spiritual discipline involves a lot more than just attending a one-off course. It necessitates personalised guidance, encouragement and continuing support in addition to the formal basis that an introductory course can provide. It is for this reason that tuition is run on a bespoke basis rather than offered publicly, and is therefore only for those who are able to attend the Centre’s classes on a regular basis. Some prior experience of meditation is necessary, this is not for beginners. If you are interested in learning Dhyana Yoga, please email the Centre in the first instance then attend an OM Healing session where you will be able to discuss your requirements with the course leader.
The course teaching can be condensed into bespoke induction sessions, either during the weekday classes or on Sunday evenings, and this is how the Centre normally operates at the moment with newcomers. These inductions are for small groups of specific invitees only (they are not advertised) and therefore need to be discussed in person with the course leader.
Please see the Activities page for brief details of the course or here for a fuller synopsis.
GROUP MEDITATIONS: IN-PERSON AND ONLINE
In-person meditations take place twice-monthly on Fridays 7pm – 9pm at Essex Unitarian Church. These classes alternate with the OM Healing sessions so there is always a weekly in-person meeting of the Centre but at differing venues in central London, see the above table for dates and the Activities page for more information.
In addition, online sessions take place on the Zoom platform twice a week: on Tuesday and Friday evenings at 7pm when there is no in-person session, and Sunday mornings at 10am, as per the above table and see the Activities page for further details.
Attendance at any of these sessions, whether online or in-person, is by invitation only.
OM HEALING
Please see the OM Healing page.
MEDITATION RETREATS: occasional Sundays or mini-retreats on Zoom
Traditionally, one day silent meditation retreats have been held in central London three times a year (New Year, Easter and late summer). Intended for DC members, associates and current students only, these retreats are not open to the general public. However, since the pandemic, these sessions have been held as mini-retreats online instead and are likely to continue as such for the foreseeable future.
Future retreats will be held on:
Free of charge: the Dhyana Centre is run as a community service and all its activities are free of charge. It is funded entirely by voluntary donations from its members and participants.
