FAQs about weekly classes
What happens at a class? Most beginner's classes start with a guided meditation for relaxation, then there is a teaching on the topic for the evening, followed by question and answer. To see examples of teachings, click on What to Expect at a Class and scroll down to see the video examples. After class, many students choose to hang around to socialize over tea and snacks.
Do I have to register in advance? No, you can drop in to any class. All classes are designed to be self-contained, so you do not need to have attended the previous classes, and if you miss a few you can still come back without feeling "out of the loop". (Foundation Program classes do require enrollment, but you can start by dropping in to a class to see if it's right for you.)
Do I have to come to each class? No, come and go as you please.
Do I have to sit on the floor? You can sit in a chair or on a cushion on the floor.
What should I wear? Whatever is comfortable to you.
Do the classes cost money? We request a donation for most classes we offer in order to cover our expenses -- such as rent, utilities, travel expenses, teacher care, and other basic needs. If you become a regular at the Center, consider joining the Monthly Members program, a program that enables you to pay by the month and gives discounts on special events.
