What's on

Eight Step Recovery is an alternative recovery program to the 12-Step program of Alcoholic Anonymous. The program is a set of mindfulness teachings outlining a suggested course of action for recovery from addiction, stinking thinking, negative mental states, and compulsive and obsessive behaviours.

To transform the mind we need to know the mind. The fifty-one mental events provide a comprehensive map of the mind's every aspect: good, bad or indifferent. We hope you can join the Thursday evening class as we explore this extensive Buddhist teaching. We will be guided by Sangharakshita's Know Your Mind - our own teacher's exploration - and Mind in Harmony, the commentary upon it by Subhuti, the LBC's President.

Visit us in Bethnal Green to practice yoga as a foundation for meditation - encouraging flexibility, strength and awareness of physical sensations.

Join us in person to meditate with others in the LBC shrine room and develop your ability to work creatively with your mind. Ideal for complete newcomers and for those who want to keep learning.

Curious about retreats? This introductory weekend is an ideal first taste. Break out of your routine and spend two days learning transformative practices, connecting with others, and enjoying the beautiful Suffolk countryside.

Join others aged 18–30 for an evening of meditation, connecting with others and reflecting on what is most valuable in life. Tea and cake until 10.30pm.

The Buddha taught that whatever leads to individual growth and inner freedom is his Dharma (‘teaching’ or ‘way’). On this weekend of collective practice for 18-30-year-olds, we’ll explore creative expressions of the Dharma including ritual, music and movement, alongside meditation, Buddhist talks, and opportunities to connect with others.
