Portsmouth Chan Group

Portsmouth Chan Group is a Zen meditation group for the people of Portsmouth and south Hampshire.

'Chan' is the original Chinese form of Zen Buddhism. Both 'Chan' and 'Zen' mean meditation, and mindful meditation is our central practice.

We are non-sectarian and inclusive, so Buddhists of any persuasion, and non-Buddhists keen on learning meditation and mindfulness, are welcome to join us.

Weekly meetings

We meet on Mondays 6.30pm-8.30pm at Flat 33, St Martins House, Clarence Parade, Southsea PO5 2EZ.

We’ll have some discussion and China tea, then go directly into our two 25-minute meditations. There will be plenty of opportunities to ask questions. It is a friendly and inclusive group.

There is no charge.

We always take a break in August and return on the first Monday in September.

Day retreats

We hold occasional longer meditation Day Retreats.
