In the busyness of modern life, meditation offers a simple way to rediscover inner calm, clarity, and a more joyful way of living.

In these classes, we will explore five topics that can help us meditate more effectively:

•  How to inspire ourselves to meditate
•  What are the objects of meditation
•  What are mindfulness and concentration
•  How meditation develops wisdom
•  How to integrate meditation into daily life

Each session includes two guided meditations and a practical talk on the weekly topic.

Every class stands on its own, so you can join at any time and book for individual sessions.

Meditations are practised seated on chairs.

Whether you are new to meditation or have some experience, you are warmly invited to join us.

IMPORTANT: Due to city by-laws, booking must be done in advance using the booking below.

No previous experience of meditation is required. Everyone is welcome.

Maria Gonzalez-Castaneda brings a wealth of personal experience to her meditation classes acquired through years of dedicated study, practice, and completion of long meditation retreats within Kadampa Buddhism. As a dedicated teacher and volunteer at KMC Canada, she embodies warmth and loving-kindness, making her very approachable and easy to relate to. Maria teaches in an engaging, practical manner, inspiring people in their meditation practice and helping them discover their own source of happiness from within.
