Meditation Classes anywhere??

Post by Nickerbockers »

Can anyone advise whether there are any meditation classes anywhere in the Sydenham area, or the surrounding areas? Everything I find online is in Central London, NW London etc so would really appreciate it if anyone can help.

Four years ago I attended a few classes at Lewisham Library.

I'll teach you how to do it: just sit on the living room floor in the lotus position with your eyes closed and, in your mind, visualize a white rock...

I wonder if the people at Crystal Palace sports centre might know? Pilates classes are run there and very often people who teach that sort of thing might know people who are into meditation. Or maybe people who run "real" health food shops (as opposed to chains) might know.

Good idea about the cafe - the ladies in Kirkdale bookshop might know someone.

:oops:

I am embarassed to admit that I have just discovered that I wrote my weekly shopping list on a leaflet that came through the door on this very subject.

Greatly edited, this is what it says:

"Meditation - facilitated by Marion Ellerby

Some of the techniques taught will include breathwork, centring and grounding, engaging your chakras and your heart. All welcome ...
guided meditation plus time for questions, sharing your experiences and a much needed cup of tea.

Six Mondays starting 21st April - 7pm
Fee £75
Venue: Holistic Personal Development Centre
137 Kirkdale, Sydenham, SE26 4QJ

Contact: Andrea Richards
020 8291 0816"

There's also an e-mail address but I'm reluctant to put that online because of spambots.

All this is much more interesting and healthy than what some idiot has written on the back:
"Sunday Times, wine, tequila, biscuits, eggs, bananas, chicken ..."

Doubly embarassing is the fact that I live in Kirkdale and didn't know we had a Holistic Personal Development Centre. :oops:

The Brockwell Park Lido in Herne Hill have buddhist meditaton classes in their studios twice a week. I haven't been and its a bit hard to get to if you don't have a car but if you are willing to travel....

I forgot I'd ever asked this question, and had just come online to see if there is anywhere again - and found my own question!! Very helpful replies, thank you, I'll try the one in Kirkdale! :-)
