Meditation Made Easy

Meditation often seems very difficult, but it becomes clearer and easier by relying upon Buddha’s authentic meditation instructions.

Find your peace and focus with the guided help of qualified Buddhist meditation teachers Susan Prentice and Jill Chamberlain.

In these Friday after-work classes we learn Buddhist meditation practices and understandings to grow our own joyful meditation practice and experience real inner peace.

Join Susan and Jill weekly for these 45-minute classes in Heruka Center’s beautiful and quiet meditation room.
