Chanted Meditations

Chanted meditations or prayers, known as ‘pujas,’ are special methods for purifying negativity, accumulating merit and receiving blessings. They help us to develop and maintain a positive mind and are a powerful preparation for meditation. 

Everyone is welcome to attend. There is no need to book, and no fee.

Contact us for dates and times if they are not listed here.
