Your body is here, but your mind is somewhere else…

Life With Full Attention is an 8 week practical course in mindfulness in West London that helps you slow down, build awareness, and reconnect with the present moment.

Through meditation, simple daily practices, and a supportive community, you’ll learn how to respond instead of react, feel calmer, and live with more clarity.

No experience needed. Just bring yourself.

Starting 19 January at the West London Buddhist Centre.

Book your place. Link in bio.

What is this???

It’s the Wheel of Life! An ancient and potent Buddhist symbol that shows how living beings stay trapped in cyclic rounds of suffering. The wheel itself is held in the teeth of the Lord of Death… worrying stuff indeed! ☠️ 👹 🫣

But fret not - our new course is almost upon us! We’ll be learning how we can start to escape this cycle, by using awareness and creativity towards the challenges in our life.

Wake up knowing that you have the tools to manage whatever your body throws at you.

Living with pain or a health condition is challenging. However, much of the suffering caused by ill-health can be overcome. This programme contains the best mindfulness and compassion techniques from 30 years of managing severe chronic pain, and its effectiveness has been demonstrated in a number of scientific trials.

Led by experienced practitioner Sophie Matthew.

8 sessions, starting Thursday 23 October
1 - 3.30 pm
(Please note: the first session is 1 - 4 pm)

To book - see link in bio ☝

Skip the usual Friday night routine and try something different — an evening to unplug, slow down, and connect in real life. Our Under30 gatherings offer a mindful alternative: time to meditate, share, and be part of a community that values presence over scrolling and real connection over noise.

🕒 First Friday of every month | 7:15 PM – 9:30 PM
🍕 Stay after for pizza, snacks, and chai.

Join us, transform with us, and live more mindfully together.
