Birmingham Chan Group

The Birmingham Chan Group meets on every 1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month at the Friends Meeting House, St James Road, Edgbaston B15 1JP.

Time: 7.30pm - 9.30pm.

We warmly welcome newcomers, whether experienced in meditation or complete beginners, Buddhist or non-Buddhist.

The main focus of the group is Chan (Chinese Zen Buddhism). This takes the form of sitting and walking meditation, as practised by the Western Chan Fellowship, followed by a short discussion on a topic related to Buddhist practice, e.g. methods for cultivating mindfulness in everyday life.

If you have a mat, cushion or meditation bench, we recommend that you bring it as we only have a limited supply. Chairs are available if required.

Donations towards the cost of the room are voluntary but welcome.

The Friends Meeting House Edgbaston is on the corner of St James Rd and George Rd. Buses: any bus to Five Ways. Station: Five Ways (Cross City Line) 500m from meeting house. Car Parking: on site and street parking available.

If you are coming for the first time, please call in advance.
