About the course
Join us for a transformative five-week meditation course in the heart of Birmingham, guided by Buddhist nun and experienced teacher Gen Kelsang Leksang.

Each week, you’ll learn how to recognize and understand different types of thoughts and mental habits, gaining tools to reduce stress, anxiety, and negative patterns. With gentle but powerful meditations, clear teachings, and plenty of space for reflection, you’ll begin to unlock the potential for lasting inner peace and mental freedom.
This course is suitable for beginners and experienced meditators alike, and offers a down-to-earth, accessible introduction to one of Buddhism’s most essential topics.
What you’ll gain:
- A clearer understanding of how your mind works
- Practical tools to manage challenging emotions
- Increased mental peace, focus, and resilience
