Pick one or several — each number is how many places here offer it.
The Buddhist Society of WA's city centre, fifteen minutes north of the CBD, running free guided meditation several times a week alongside Friday dhamma talks and WA's largest Buddhist library. The four-week introduction course starts on the first Saturday of each month, and newcomers are expected rather than merely tolerated.
Guided meditation in the Karma Kagyu tradition three times a week at Bibra Lake — Monday and Wednesday evenings and Sunday afternoons — each session opening with a short talk before twenty to thirty minutes of guided practice in English. Free to attend, donations voluntary, no experience needed; cushions and chairs provided.
Free meditation classes and workshops across Perth — Inglewood, Mount Claremont and Belmont among the venues — run continuously as a community service in the Sri Chinmoy tradition, with the Perth centre re-established in 1995. Classes are pitched at beginners, working from quietening the mind toward heart-centred meditation. Always free of charge.
A lay Zen community in the Diamond Sangha lineage, sitting zazen every Thursday evening at the Beaconsfield church hall since its founding in 1982 — newcomers arrive at six for orientation. Teachers Mari Rhydwen Roshi and Glenn Wallis Roshi guide the practice, with monthly sits on country, quarterly intensive sitting days and an annual multi-day sesshin. Runs on dana; mats and chairs provided.
A volunteer-run meditation centre teaching Raja Yoga meditation through free introductory courses, public talks and workshops, with an ongoing Thursday evening class for those who have completed the intro course. All courses, classes and retreats are offered free of charge.
Chen-style tai chi in the Zhu Tiancai lineage, taught through a ten-week beginner program aligned with WA school terms — posture, breathing, silk reeling and the 13 Postures routine — at Troy Park in Attadale on Saturday mornings, with a second venue in Safety Bay. Beginner classes run on donation; annual membership is $40.
6 of the 80 mind & mental wellbeing listings in the directory match this view. The count is live, and the order puts specialists first — paid placement never moves anyone up it.
As of October 2026, 6 of the 80 Mind & Mental Wellbeing listings on Oria Haven are in this view (Perth) — counted live from the directory.
4 of these specialise in mind & mental wellbeing — it is their main focus. The other 2 list it among other things they offer.
Every listing is hand-checked by Oria Haven. Figures updated 9 October 2026.
Most relevant means practices that specialise in this first, then the ones with the most reviews to go on. A listing that publishes its price, describes itself and names its services gets a small nudge, never more than a quarter of a star, because you can decide on it without ringing. Paid placements are shown once, in their own band, and never move anyone up the list.

The guide
Three quite different things share this shelf, and timetables rarely say which one you are booking.
Meditation classes are usually guided sittings — someone talks, you sit, it lasts half an hour to an hour. Mindfulness is more often taught as a course over six or eight weeks with the same group each time, and the practice is homework between sessions rather than the session itself. Breathwork is the physically demanding one: sustained patterned breathing that can leave your hands tingling and your emotions closer to the surface than you expected. Counselling and coaching are one-to-one and booked like an appointment.
On practicalities: several Perth sittings are free or by donation, and those tend to be the volunteer-run ones rather than the studios. Courses ask you to commit to the whole run and usually cost less per session than dropping in. Breathwork facilitators generally ask about pregnancy, heart conditions and epilepsy before a first session, so expect that question and answer it honestly.
