Commit to growth in 2026
Despite our everyday preoccupations and hang-ups, if we look deeply, we’ll discover a world of inner richness we can get in touch with – one that leads to an infinitely more expansive, liberated life.
Over 21 days, we’ll be intensively exploring the mind in meditation, uncovering a vision of reality, and co-creating an inspirational community.
The challenge is to:
- Meditate every day with the LBC
- Come to the centre as much as you can
Join the launch morning on 3 Jan led by LBC Chair Suryagupta, followed by three Saturday meditation masterclasses with Maitreyabandhu, guided meditation every weekday morning over Zoom, and more.
To support your practice further, we'll be offering a Kickstart Your Yoga and Meditation course alongside the Challenge. Click here to book.
Sign up below to receive reminders of key events throughout the Challenge! By signing up you'll also get early access to our new meditation app, tailored to support your practice over the 21 days.
All welcome.
