ABOUT

 

Have you benefited from mindfulness meditation? Are you wondering how to take your practice further?

​

In this course we will explore the Buddha's teachings on meditation, where mindfulness is just one key aspect to help us cultivate more peace, understanding and compassion.

​

Over 6 weeks we will explore our personal meditation practice through the lens of a key Buddhist teaching - 'The Four Foundations of Mindfulness'. The course will be a mixture of teachings and experiential practices, designed to help you strengthen and develop your personal practice, and gain confidence in cultivating different ways of being in the world.

​

DURING THIS COURSE, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO:

​

• Learn about a key Buddhist meditation text - the Anapanasati Sutra (or The Four Foundations of Mindfulness). We will explore this text as a practical guide to finding more wellbeing in our lives.

• Explore Buddhist teachings on meditation in the spirit of open-minded inquiry; you are encouraged to be discerning and explore what is beneficial in your own practice.

• Find practical and concrete methods to develop your meditation and daily mindfulness practice.

• Keep a daily meditation journal and receive regular individual feedback on your meditation practice from our teacher.

• Find new ways to be present with the breath, body, emotions, thinking and awareness.

• Learn to engage, be aware and bring ease to your experience whatever it is.

• Learn key skills such as curiosity, ease, joy, composure, awareness, engagement and letting go.

• Move beyond mindfulness and learn how to cultivate other helpful qualities of mind.

• Learn more about key Buddhist ideas such as impermanence, interdependence, letting go and awakening and how they might help relieve stress in your life.
