What we’re about
Welcome to Samadhi! We aim to introduce people to meditation and mindfulness, and to help them integrate these practices into their daily life. Everyone is welcome to join our sessions!
We engage in various meditations from the Buddhist and other contemplative traditions. Drawing on the practical experience of meditation, psychology, and Buddhist wisdom, we look at insights, teachings and new ways of thinking which help us unwind, relax, let go of things like stress and anxiety, and cultivate positive minds such as patience, compassion, and equanimity.
With a regular meditation practice, you will gain greater and greater peace of mind and discover a more positive approach to life, as well as improved levels of emotional and mental health. Meditation has numerous benefits for the health of both your body and mind, is easy to do, and something everyone can learn.
"Since nearly everyone living in the modern world is coping with an overload of thinking, remembering, and planning this may be just what the doctor ordered: a general prescription for soothing and healing overworked bodies and minds." – B. Alan Wallace
In today’s fast-paced world, stress and burnout have become all too familiar. So, how can we find peace and balance amidst life’s demands?
Join visiting meditation teacher, David Oromith, for an engaging and practical talk on handling stress and burnout.
Drawing on Buddhist psychology and his own journey through depression, anxiety, and burnout, David will share:
- why the modern stress-cycle is so relentless – and what breaks it
- the three layers of burnout – and ways to heal them
- quick resets you can use at your desk or on the train
- how acceptance and self-kindness help you bounce back when things go wrong
David guides with warmth, humour, and the disarming honesty of someone who’s walking this path himself. There’s no jargon and no pressure to “be spiritual” – just practical ideas you can start using straight away.
Who’s it for? Absolutely anyone. Whether you’ve never tried meditation or you already practise every day, you’re welcome.
Come for friendly conversation, fresh perspective, and a cuppa. Leave with methods for a calmer, more balanced life.
Even if you have RSVPd on Meetup, please book here in advance if you can - this helps us prepare ahead for refreshments: Navigating Stress & Burnout - Buddhist Insights for a Happier Life - Samadhi

See all- Buddhist Study Group – The Eight Verses of Training the MindLink visible for attendees
This Module is part of The Buddha’s Path (our foundational study programme) and introduces one of the most transformative teachings of the Mahayana tradition: Lojong, or Buddhist mind training.
Lojong is a profound and practical method for transforming all of life’s circumstances, pleasant or painful, into the spiritual path. This approach teaches us how to embody bodhicitta in daily life, how to live and train in the world as a Bodhisattva.
At its heart, Lojong is about shifting the emphasis from self-centredness to cherishing others, and using daily life as the training ground for compassion, patience, and wisdom.
In this course, we will undertake a line-by-line exploration of Geshe Langri Tangpa’s classic lojong text, The Eight Verses of Training the Mind. Composed in the 11th century, these verses are revered for their profound simplicity and depth. They capture the essence of the Mahayana path – compassion, wisdom, and the transformation of self-grasping – and offer a complete guide to the inner life of a bodhisattva. Even a single line, it is said, encapsulates the entire teaching of the Buddha.
