Welcome to Rigpa Athlone – The centre was established in 2003. We are situated in the heart of the Left Bank area of Athlone close to the River Shannon and Castle. We run a program of classes on meditation throughout the year that are open to everyone. Classes are informal and relaxed and include a short tea break.

Meditation – Exploring Everyday Wisdom
One unique aspect of the Buddhist tradition is the rich understanding of mind. Mind is recognised as the basis for all our experience. This includes our thoughts, emotions, feelings and in fact everything we perceive.
One incredibly practical way of working with our mind is the practice of meditation.
Each evening we will explore the practice of meditation and have a chance to practice together. Throughout the course will also look at other important topics drawn form the Buddhist tradition that support our well being and happiness.
This course is suitable for everyone
