Introductory Courses

Buddhism and Meditation

Are you new to meditation and Buddhism? Our introductory courses are a great way to explore the fundamentals of meditation and Buddhism in a supportive atmosphere, and are led by our Buddhist teachers and a team of volunteers. Our courses are also a wonderful chance to connect with others who have the same curiosity as you. 

On this page, you can find details of our upcoming courses. Can’t see one listed that works for you but want to be informed when more courses are announced? Just email us at info@nottinghambuddhistcentre.org.

If you’ve already completed a course with us we also have Going Deeper Courses to go deeper in your practice of meditation and understanding of Buddhism.

Accessibility

We warmly welcome everyone, but unfortunately due to the age of our building and costs to renovate, sadly our space currently has limited accessibility for wheelchair users or those unable to use stairs.

There is a fold out ramp leading to the ground floor entrance, but please note that the shrine room—where many of our courses and events take place—is upstairs and not wheelchair accessible.

Our drop in meditations often take place solely in the downstairs space, but our toilets are unfortunately not wheelchair accessible.

While we don’t have an accessible toilet, there are handrails for support. If you'd like to visit or discuss any specific needs, please reach out and contact us at info@nottinghambuddhistcentre.org. We're happy to offer a tour of the building and will do our best to make your visit as comfortable as possible.
