Our 8-week set of Winter 2026 classes will go from Jan 27th – Mar 24th .
Each session will be a GO pending sufficient registrations.
If a GO, then drop-in classes are an option as space allows … though weekly attendance is of most benefit since classes build on each other, and even more so as you build toward a daily practice between classes, always as your life and time allow.
Morning and Evening Beginners classes are open to all, whether new or returning.
Afternoon Beyond Beginners classes are ONLY for those who have previously done at least one full set of 8-week classes, are fairly comfortable with the practices,
and feel ready to do a deeper practice.

General Info re Saturday Retreat/Reflection Days
Retreat/Reflection Days are periodically offered at our Virginia Water Contemplative Centre.
These days are a mix of quiet time and time for both new teaching as well as refresh and review time.
Both new and returning participants welcome!
Virginia Water Contemplative Centre, owned and operated by our Presentation Sisters,
is in a beautiful peaceful setting on Virginia Lake
47 Parsonage Drive, St. John’s, just off Logy Bay Road near NTV building.
A lovely opportunity to “Retreat” indeed as you step back from the busies of life
and the weather’s teasing and treat yourself!
An anytime gift to give YOU!
If you can only come for half a day,
please still do come and take from the day what life and time allow!
All you need is a sense of adventure, and always a “beginners mind” …
Give your self a treat … a little “time-out” just for YOU!
Bring along brown bag lunch if coming for all day … will have the kettle on for anyone who wishes!
Times vary from full to half day.
Full days may vary, generally from 9:30 – 4:30 or 10:00 – 4:00, always with the option to attend for half a day.
