The Manchester Meditation Marathon

Join us for an extraordinary event, as we look to raise money for the Manchester Buddhist Centre!

From 1:00 pm, until 1:00 am on Saturday 30th September, a group of us will be embarking on a twelve-hour Meditation Marathon, and we invite you to join us, and immerse yourself in the transformative power of the mystery that is meditation.

Set aside just half an hour of your time to join us at the serene Manchester Buddhist Centre where we aim to raise £1,000 to support the Centre’s vital work.

To take part, please donate, and enter the time you wish to join in your comment. You can join on the hour, or half past the hour. The standard slot will be 30 minutes. So for example if you wished to join from 1:30pm to 2pm, you would add a comment saying '1:30pm'.

The suggested donation is £5 to join for 30 minutes – entering either on the hour or the half-hour, but you are welcome to participate for longer. Join and give as little or as much as is right for you.

There will be cups of tea and cakes available on the day to fortify people in exchange for a small donation.

Please also consider donating if you don't wish to take part - we welcome all supporters :-)

Let us breathe, meditate, and uplift one another in the spirit of unity and compassion.

Mark your calendars for “A Meditation Marathon” - an event you do not want to miss!
