Secular Meditation in Worthing
Worthing Meditation was founded in 2006 by Lloyd Willis to provide a secular space for individuals seeking mindful awareness through meditation. Our group fosters mutual support without religious affiliation, offering structured sessions that explore both traditional and contemporary meditation practices. Meetings occur bi-weekly on Tuesday evenings and afternoons, with seasonal breaks, allowing participants to engage in guided practice and philosophical discussions. We emphasize meditation as a lifelong journey rather than a quick fix, encouraging members to integrate mindful awareness into daily life. Our approach balances practical meditation techniques with contemplative exploration, avoiding rigid structures or hierarchical teaching models.The group operates on voluntary contributions, maintaining accessibility while respecting individual financial circumstances. Regular attendees benefit from a shared library and informal post-session discussions over refreshments. We actively promote meditation as a complementary practice to professional mental health support rather than a substitute. Our community welcomes both experienced practitioners and newcomers, with future plans to expand session options for diverse participant needs.
