Welcome to the Vancouver Sri Chinmoy website! Whether you’re here to explore the vast world of meditation or looking for information about our meditation classes, you’ve come to the right place. The true understanding of meditation comes through its practice—it’s a conscious journey of self-discovery. The Sri Chinmoy Centre of Vancouver offers FREE learn-to-meditate classes, where you’ll learn relaxation techniques, concentration, mantra, and music for meditation.

Our instructor, Prachar Stegemann, from Canberra, Australia, has been dedicated to sharing Sri Chinmoy’s teachings with seekers around the world for over 40 years. In 2024, he will be offering meditation classes in 50 countries.

Join us for a two-day course at the YWCA Hotel Vancouver, 733 Beatty St., Vancouver, on Saturday and Sunday, October 19-20, from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. The course is designed to be consecutive, so we encourage you to attend both sessions for maximum benefit. After the second session, you’ll have an opportunity for a follow-up.

About us

The Vancouver Sri Chinmoy Centre was established in the early 1970’s Since then members of our meditation centre have been offering free classes to the community.

The classes are usually 90-120 minutes, beginning with the basic aspects of meditation – very good for both beginners and the more experienced meditators. Subsequent classes go deeper into meditation. The goal of the classes is to help you establish a regular fruitful meditation practice.
