Classes are located at:

The Pad Studios
1690 Union St. (between Gough & Franklin)
San Francisco, CA 94123


Sundays, 12:15-1:15pm

Meditation Teacher: Carroll Child

  • Learn and practice essential meditation techniques
  • Receive clear instructions from a qualified teacher
  • Reduce stress and improve overall well-being
  • Everyone is welcome!

These drop-in meditation classes consist of a talk, guided meditation and a chance for questions and answers. Each talk is a part of a series, yet is self-contained.

January 24 ~ The Secrets of Meditation: Techniques for Creating Mental Peace
January 31 ~ The Benefits of Meditation
February 21 ~ Meditation in Daily Life
February 28 ~ Protecting Our Mind

Series II ~ “Creating our Future” (March/April)

March 14 ~ Unhelpful States of Mind: Delusions
March 21 ~ Actions and Their Effects: Karma
April 11 ~ Anger
April 18 ~ Attachment

Series III ~ “Improving our Relationships” (May/June)
