The new Meditation Reviews which started in July have proved so popular that they are to become a regular feature.

If you wish to talk to Sahajasiddhi or Samanartha about your meditation then please try and be at the Friends' Night meeting on the first Thursday of each month when they will take place.

If there are more people wanting reviews than can be seen in one evening, then the reviews will spill over into the following week(s)
