WHAT's ON: Meditation Month - Citywide FREE meditation classes/workshops
In response to growing urban problems of stress and declining mental health, Hour of Peace Meetup organisers and Auckland’s Sri Chinmoy Meditation Centre are offering a citywide free program throughout November which will share basic meditation skills with anyone keen to learn.
Meditation Month will introduce the key steps in getting started, and cover a variety of techniques in calming the mind and coping with the often complex challenges of living in today’s world.
Meditation Month is an admission-free initiative simply dedicated to a more peaceful world and to the quest for happiness that we all share.

** Four Mondays/Thursdays, Nov 13, 16, 20, 23; 7.30pm – 9.00pm; 93 Dominion Road, Mt Eden.
