What is meditation?

Meditation is a way to improve our experience of daily life and relationships with others by finding an quiet inner space which focuses on happy, peaceful thoughts.

Tara Kadampa Meditation Centre is a place where anyone is welcome to visit and try meditation at one of our regular meditation classes, either at the centre or in many locations in and around Derbyshire and Staffordshire.

We also have classes on Buddha’s teachings, and how they are as relevant and practical to our modern world as they were when he explained his ideas 2500 years ago.

In addition to the study programmes, we have a variety of day courses and meditation retreats which give you the chance to spend some quality time on developing a peaceful, happy mind.

Tara Centre is home to a vibrant, diverse community of people who have found happiness from an inner source. Please come along and find out more, or visit our facebook page to see what we’re up to.

You might also like to pop in for a drink or snack at our newly refurbished World Peace Cafe, and let the kids loose our small but perfectly formed playground.
