Venue:
Friends Meeting House, 8 Hop Gardens, off St Martins Lane, WC2N 4JS

Five minutes walk from Charing Cross. Near Trafalgar Square, between Leicester Square and Charing Cross Tube stations.
The group is run by Nick Kientsch who lived for six years as a novice monk in the Thai forest Tradition. Nick trained under the direction of Ajahn Sumedho at Amaravati Buddhist Monastery and the style of his teaching is based on what he learned over this time: non judgemental and without having a fixed or dogmatic approach the emphasis is on each person trusting in their own innate ability to rest into the freedom that arises when we stop trying to achieve a fixed result and instead trust in what is there in the present moment.
Recent feedback from people who have attended the class:
"I came to the meditation group not knowing what to expect. I was met with warmth and inspiration. The class was very well run and informative as well as tremendously helpful in dealing with stressful life challenges. It is also a great way of meeting other gay guys in a supportive and friendly environment. Highly recommended!' Paul K
"A safe, inviting space for both beginners and those who have meditated before to come together in quiet reflection. Nick Kientsch has created a very welcome weekly sanctum to balance the noise of everyday life." D. Davies
'I've found it a wonderful way to round off the week-end and get ready for the week.' Graeme G

OUTeverywhere member organiser
This event has been added to the OUTeverywhere calendar by Nick K from New Cross in the London area.
I teach a meditation group for gay men in London. I lived for six years as a Buddhist monk and now live in London. I'm looking at ways of going into businesses to teach meditation - 'stress busting'. Let me know if you are interested! In my social life I like to relax with friends and explore spiritual teachings. I'm not heavily into the scene so more likely to goto the theatre or park.
