Children learn “Anapana”, which is a technique of the observation of natural, normal respiration as it comes in and as it goes out.

The “Anapana” technique:

• Is simple yet scientific
• Is morality-based but non-religious
• Uses a natural object to focus
• Is non-commercial

The aim is to let children experience the benefits of meditation.

Regular practice of Anapana technique gives many benefits, including:

• Improved concentration and memory
• More self-confidence and greater capacity to study
• Ability to deal with agitation, fears, anxieties and pressures
• Increased goodwill for others

Meditation sessions are combined with discussion, creative activities, and games in smaller groups.

Courses are run solely on the basis of voluntarily offered donations.
