Teachers
Our courses are taught by ordained members of the Triratna Buddhist Order and by those training for ordination. They are well-trained and experienced practitioners, who teach in a friendly, informal way and communicate from their own experience.
What to bring?
You don’t need to bring anything apart from yourself or wear anything special, but you might want some socks to keep your feet warm as we take our shoes off in the meditation halls.
