"The meditation classes are great. They are not religious in anyway but give a perfect introduction to meditation and how to apply meditation in daily life."

ChristopherCourse Attendee

"The silent mornings were quite enlightening and the location, with the centres' tranquil gardens, and the beach so nearby, is perfect. You would not think, when inside the centres' grounds, that you were in the middle of a bustling city."
