Yoga Classes

This basic class is a good introduction to yoga, and is well suited to beginners, the elderly and more advanced students. Yoga is an excellent way to assist with health, fitness and relaxation. These are run by wider community people and there is a fee for these classes.
Meditation
Wednesdays 6pm – 7pm
Thursdays 1.30 – 2.30 – Spiritual Hour
Spiritual Hour is a time where people are invited to bring along a spiritual writing to share with the group (up to 1 page). We then have 15 minutes of silent meditation in the Christian tradition or your tradition of preference.
Sound Meditation
Thursdays 6pm – 7pm fortnightly
Fridays 7pm – 8pm
Meditation takes place in the sanctuary and entry is through the side door off the parking lot or the front door of the church may be open. There is no charge for these sessions and we explore many types and styles of meditation from the Christian, Buddhist, Sikh and other traditions using contemplative, sound and guided forms. The aim is to become aware of true self and to allow the individual to live fully in the moment. Allowing the individual to let go of many of our cultures preconceived notions and expectations of the self and giving both techniques and confidence to move more fully towards one’s true self.
