Weekly meditation classes in Brisbane
We group our weekly meditation classes into topics over a few weeks. Our next topic is: Karma: no one is to blame
Have you ever thought that when someone says “it’s your karma” means you’re to blame for the difficult things that happen in your life? Or that karma is somehow fatalistic?
If you have, think again…In reality, through understanding karma correctly, you’ll realise that no-one is to blame and nothing is predetermined; you’ll learn what is to blame and what to do about it; that everything can change and improve, and how to make that happen.
Understanding the law of karma enables us to answer all our ‘why?’ questions and find deep inner peace; it empowers us to create the future experiences we want and avoid the ones we don’t. The liberating wisdom of karma will set you free.
Join us for this series of classes. Improve your understanding of karma and see for yourself how this wisdom enables you to make sense of your world and your life. Learn how to use this wisdom to let go of the past and the need to blame; and to create the future you want.

Making meditation a habit
Do you ever think meditation would be good for you, but you struggle to get round to doing it?
Do you like the idea of meditation, but aren’t sure where to begin?
Do you suffer from stress, anxiety or negativity and feel like you could you use a little more mental peace and positivity?
You’re not alone.
Most of us know that meditation would be good for us. We know it would be great, not only for us, but also for the people around us if we were a more peaceful, positive and happy person. But it can be hard to know where to start, how to make progress and how to get into the habit of meditation.
Fortunately, meditation is something everyone can learn to do. Through meditation you will learn how to control your mind, rather than it controlling you. We all have a mind, and we can all bring our mind under control – make it peaceful and positive – and meditation in the method to do this.
Buddhist teachings provide clear instruction on how to begin and make progress in meditation, and how to integrate meditation into busy daily life. By making meditation a habit you’ll be able to develop and maintain a peaceful mind all the time, so that you can be happy all the time.
You, your family, friends and everyone you come into contact with, will benefit from your meditation practice.
✨In this practical and engaging four-week series, you’ll learn:
- How to develop the habit of meditation;
- How to begin your meditation practice;
- How to structure your meditation so that it gives maximum results;
- How to overcome obstacles to meditation;
- How to maintain a positive mind out of meditation, in daily life; and
- How, through meditation, you can become the peaceful, positive, happy person you long to be.

What to Expect
Each class is stand alone which means you don’t have to commit to a full course. Each week you’ll learn an essential tool of meditation and how to integrate that meditation into your daily life. You’ll be inspired to make the most of the moments for meditation you create.
We sit in comfortable chairs or a cushion on the floor if you prefer. We enjoy refreshments and a chat in the lounge after class. Everyone is welcome.
