The session begins with a guided meditation lasting around twenty minutes. After tea break, there is either a discussion on an agreed topic or a mindful activity led by one of the members. We conclude with a shorter guided meditation at the end.

At present the charge for the use of the hall is £2 per U3A member.

Meditation is led by a member who is very experienced. She explains it as follows: ‘The purpose of meditation is to cultivate those states of mind that are conducive to peace and well-being and to help remove those that are not.’
