Colwyn Bay
New venue for September 2026
These classes introduce the art of meditation and offer advice on how to apply Buddha’s teachings to solve our daily problems. The classes begin with a relaxing guided meditation, followed by an inspiring and practical talk and then another guided meditation. Finally there will be time for questions and discussion.
The classes are presented as a short series over several weeks, but each class is self-contained – so you can drop in any time you like. Everyone is welcome regardless of belief; you do not need to be Buddhist to attend. Suitable for everyone, including absolute beginners.
The class is led by Kelsang Minche, the Administrative Director of Kalpabhadra Kadampa Buddhist Centre, Llandudno.. Kelsang Minche is an ordained nun and has been studying and practising meditation for over 20 years under the guidance of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.

Introduction to Meditation
Meditation is a method to make our mind peaceful and positive. If our mind is peaceful, we will be free of worries and mental discomfort and experience true happiness and well-being. But if our mind is not peaceful, we will find it difficult to be happy and relaxed even if we are living in the very best conditions.
The first class in this series will be on 7 September

What to Expect at a Class
Everyone is welcome to join our meditation classes. People attend for many reasons—some to find peace from stress or anxiety, others to deepen their understanding of meditation and Buddhist teachings, or simply to enjoy a friendly, like-minded community.
Each class includes guided meditations, a practical talk on applying Buddhist wisdom to daily life, and time for reflection or questions. No previous experience is needed.
Classes are self-contained, so you can come to any session that suits you (except the Foundation Programme, which requires enrolment). After each class, the teacher is available for a chat or to answer questions.
What to Wear
You don’t need any special clothing. All classes are seated on chairs, with cushions available for those who prefer. Most people find it comfortable to wear loose-fitting clothes that allow easy breathing and relaxation.
Centre Card Membership
There are two ways to attend classes: pay-as-you-go or through a Centre Card membership.
Pay-as-you-go lets you pay for each class individually. You can still enjoy discounts for booking a series or early-bird rates for weekend courses.
If you attend regularly, the Centre Card is the most economical option. Membership starts from £20 per month, with three levels depending on how often you attend. There’s no fixed commitment—you can change or cancel anytime.
All fees and memberships directly support the centre’s charitable activities, helping to keep meditation classes accessible to everyone.
