5 week course | Mondays Oct 19, 26, Nov 2, 9, 16 | 11am – 12pm
Suitable for everyone, these classes are ideal for beginners as well as those wishing to refresh or deepen their meditation practice.
How can we get the most out of our meditation practice? People often think they can’t meditate, sometimes it feels like it’s not working, or we are confused about how to begin or progress our meditation practice.
This five-week series is about making your meditation practice joyful and effective. You will be guided in meditation by an experienced meditation teacher and can also benefit from meditating in a group setting away from the usual distractions.
We’ll look at the common sticking points: a busy mind that won’t settle, inconsistent practice, sessions that feel calm at the time but don’t carry into the rest of your day.
Learn simple, reliable techniques that help meditation genuinely change your experience of life and build a meditation habit that truly works and keeps us engaged day after day.
Week 1: Settling a Busy Mind
Week 2: Holding Focus
Week 3: Taking Meditation into Your Day
Week 4: Making Meditation a Joyful, Lasting Habit
Week 5: Going Deeper
Everyone is warmly welcome.
Each class includes 2 guided meditations, a practical teaching, and time for questions. Meditation is done seated in chairs with the option to sit on a mat and cushion if you prefer.
This course is perfect for beginners as well as anyone wishing to refresh or deepen their meditation practice.
After the class there is tea and biscuits in the cafe provided free of charge for those who would like to stay on and discuss the class or their meditation practice.
