Pause. Breathe. Find Your Balance
University life can be exciting, stimulating and rewarding — but it can also be demanding. Between study, work, deadlines and the constant noise of everyday life, finding a moment to simply stop and breathe can make all the difference.
The University of London Meditation Group offers a welcoming space to pause, practise and reconnect with yourself.
Whether you are completely new to meditation or have an established practice, you are warmly invited to join us. Our sessions provide an opportunity to develop greater calm, clarity and awareness — and to discover practical ways of bringing mindfulness into everyday life.

Just come as you are.
Our sessions introduce accessible meditation practices in a relaxed and supportive environment. There is no pressure to perform and no expectation that you will get it "right".
Simply arrive, take a breath, and begin.
Meditation for university life
Meditation isn't about escaping from the demands of university life. It is about developing the awareness and resilience to meet those demands more skilfully.
From preparing for exams and managing deadlines to navigating change, relationships and the uncertainties of student life, mindfulness can offer practical tools for meeting everyday challenges with greater steadiness.
Take a moment for yourself
In a world that rarely stops, choosing to pause is a powerful act.
Come and explore what a few moments of stillness can make possible.
