6 Week Medidation Course in Solihull
For anyone who wants to learn to meditate, personal guidance is essential.
This six-week course teaches the preliminaries, providing a sound foundation for meditation practice informed by both contemporary neuroscience, and contemplative tradition.
For many, meditation is about stress reduction, or optimising oneself, and while that is not necessarily wrong, during this course you will learn that this is a limited way of understanding meditation. All good practice starts with understanding the ‘why’ and so before we begin to practice we will explore the following provocation:
The fact you want to be better is the reason you are not.
The course can be done online via Zoom, but it is recommended that you attend in person. Each week will consist of a talk, practice and Q&A, followed by guidance for self study at home.
The course is appropriate, even if you’ve never meditated before, as well as for those who might have tried meditation, but didn’t get on with it. Equally, it will be appropriate for more experienced practitioners who would value returning to the foundations of practice and exploring them anew.
