Welcome back one and all! Hopefully you return recharged and refreshed after a long hot summer. But if not, no worries! Check out our fresh new Programme of Pujas, Guided Meditations, plus added options for morning and afternoon drop in sessions.

There’s also a new Qigong Course of Healthy Body, Peaceful Mind open to beginners and all who wish to decrease stress, increase energy and improve their mental and physical wellbeing.
