The Nottingham Serene Reflection Meditation Group follows the practice of Zen Buddhism within the OBC, and meets on Monday evenings, either in person on Zoom - see below for details. Meetings are from 7pm to 9pm.

Meetings usually comprise either two meditation periods followed by a discussion on Buddhist practice related to our every day lives, or one meditation period and a recorded Dharma talk. Rev. Aiden visits the group for one of the meetings each month.

The Nottingham group offers a regular time and place for formal meditation and teaching, often with people who have been following the practice for many years.

Meditation instruction is available by agreement with one of the group contacts.
