A network of Meditation Groups (listed below) has developed throughout the UK and beyond, often set up by people who have spent time at Gaia House and wish to remain connected with this retreat centre and their experiences here.
If you run a sitting meditation group and your name and details are not featured here, please let us know and we can add you to this list. Please keep us informed of any changes so that we can publish your groups’ current information.
If you do not have a local Meditation Group and would like to set one up, please see our help page: Setting up a Meditation Group.
