Meditation cushion-making workshop

Hi Everyone,

During the meditation course we are currently running, we were given plans and templates to guide us in making our own meditation cushions.

We are going to run a workshop for those who want to learn how to make their own meditation cushions.



To be held on Fridays 2pm to 3pm, just after the meditation course.

The workshop will run for several weeks depending on how long it takes for us to complete them.

Currently, we expect the cost of the materials for each cushion to be below $30, but that will depend on how many people want to make their own cushion (it's always cheaper to buy in bulk). No additional costs will be incurred other than the cost of material.

If you would like to join in on the fun and learn how to make your own meditation cushion, please let us know via email or during the meditation workshop so we can organise materials.

Also, if you can lend us a sewing machine for Friday afternoons, we would love to hear from you. :)

Kind Regards,
Buddhist Society Committee
