Our next monthly support meeting at RISC is on Monday 14th September 2026 at 7.30pm.
We will be joined by Kelsang Dorchen, an ordained Buddhist monk from Reading Kadampa meditation centre. He will start the session by leading us in a short guided meditation. No previous experience of meditation or mindfulness is required to take part.
Dorchen will then share with us a bit about his personal journey, how Buddhist teachings have shaped that & some practical tips on how to manage mental wellbeing through a Buddhist lens.
There will be time for questions and discussion with free refreshments.
The Reading Kadampa meditation centre (located on Bath Road) offers a calm, tranquil and welcoming environment designed to help you develop inner peace through meditation based on the teachings of Buddha, presented in a clear & practical way. They provide weekly meditation classes, relaxing retreats and meditation day courses which are suitable for beginners and experienced practitioners alike.
