Yes, all the workshops and classes are suitable for beginners. The meditation workshops are mindfulness meditation - a simple, secular style suitable for all levels using attention regulation techniques to train your mind to  be present and focussed. The labyrinth meditation is a walking meditation used to quiet the mind, connect with the intuition and release thoughts and emotions for great clarity.
