Meditation and Buddhism Class
2026-05-11 19:30 - 21:30 | Adhiṣṭhāna, Coddington, Ledbury, HR8 1JL
Join us at Adhisthana to meditate with others and develop your ability to work creatively with your mind. You can either learn to meditate from scratch and develop the foundations for a daily practice or join the regulars to build on what you know and discover how to apply yourself effectively in meditation.
As of December 2025, classes are being held on Mondays from 7.30pm – 9.30pm and are open to participants of all levels of experience. Please note there is no class on 22 or 29 December 2025.
You are welcome to arrive 15 minutes before the start. You’ll be greeted at the entrance by someone who will direct you where to go and help you with any queries.
The class takes place in a room on the first floor and is, as a consequence, unfortunately not accessible.
In the first half of the session, we meditate together; this is followed by a tea break. In the second half, we learn about the teachings of the Buddha with the chance to engage in discussion and ask questions.
The class is led by a team of members of the Triratna Buddhist Order and those who are training for ordination.
If you would like more information, you can call Adhisthana on 01531 641726 or email us (otherwise just turn up!).

Malvern Pastel Artists
2026-05-15 18:00 - 20:30 | Community Hub, Victoria Park Road, Malvern, WR14 2JY
Who are we?
Malvern Pastel Artists is a new community art group starting in 2026 meeting fortnightly. We would like to welcome other local pastel artists to create in a relaxed social space. The group is not a tutored class. Open to all abilities, beginners are welcome to join. There will be some beginner-friendly art materials available for those new to pastels.
What do we mean by pastels?
What we love about pastels is that it’s drawing and painting combined in one – with intense colours closer to the raw pigment than other media. We define pastels as including soft pastels, hard pastels, pan pastels, oil pastels, charcoal, graphite, crayons, any pencils and stick form media. Many of us are mixed-media artists and combine pastels with other media – watercolour, for example.
When?
One morning and one early evening session each month, starting on 16 January 2026. (N.B. There is no session scheduled for the first Friday in April 2026, which is Good Friday.) You are free to choose when to attend via our booking system (up to 20 people per session due to room size):

1st Friday of the month: morning – 9.30am -12 noon
3rd Friday of the month: evening – 6pm – 8.30 pm

Costs
£6 annual membership for 2026 (£0.50 a month) and £5 per booked session. Membership will be required to attend sessions and session tickets can be booked in advance.
