Hello and welcome to Plymouth University Meditation Society! At the Meditation Society, we inspire students to practice meditation for health and wellbeing benefits, because we believe that meditation is essential for our own wellbeing.

We will give you the tools that you need in order to get started in learning how to meditate. With consistent practice, you will start to feel less stressed and anxious, but instead, you will experience more relaxation and inner peace - an important skill to have as a student!

As a society, we aim to:

• Inspire students to practice meditation for health and wellbeing benefits.
• Create a safe and harmonious social environment, where students can enjoy discussing the meditations.
• Allow discussion of spiritual beliefs from a variety of cultures, encouraging students to live a life with deeper meaning.

We will achieve the aims by:

• Providing a friendly and fun space that welcomes any student interested in learning meditation, regardless of previous experience.
• Hosting weekly meditation sessions from a variety of cultures, with the chance for discussion and reflection during each session.
• Getting guest speakers and videos of gurus in some sessions.
• Explaining the science behind meditation, with talks from leading neuroscientists included in some sessions, facilitating students to make changes within their lives.
• Hosting other activities alongside traditional meditations including watching spiritual movies, going for mindful walks, engaging in Kirtan (an Indian cultural tradition), plus much more!
