Introduction to Tantra
Day Course
When: Saturday 13th June 2026 10am - 5pm
Price: £23 (lunch included). Free for Full Centre Card holders
Booking (Please book by 10th June)
To engage in Tantric practice it is necessary to receive a Tantric empowerment. This empowerment will be given during the Kadampa Summer Festival in Cumbria this August. The main purpose of this day course here in Llandudno is to explain the general principles of Tantra for those people who are thinking about receiving these empowerments.
The Buddha of Compassion
Half day Retreat
When: Saturday 4th July 2026 10am - 1pm
Price: £15. Free for Full Centre Card holders
Avalokiteshvara is an enlightened being who is the manifestation of the compassion of all
Buddhas. On this half-day retreat we will learn about and practise the sequence of prayers
and meditations that enable us to draw closer to Avalokiteshvara.
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.
