Supporting Each Other in Meditation, with Dhammaloka
Tuesdays 9 January - 13 February
What is it like when you meditate … exactly? To effectively support another person in their meditation practice you don’t need to be a ‘good’ meditator yourself. Rather, you must carefully listen to how they describe their experience and then ask precise questions which help them to become finely aware of how they are aware. This is what we will train ourselves in in this course.
To participate, please genuinely try to attend every time. Ideally, you would be also prepared to meet with a ‘buddy’ for a practice session once a week in between classes. (It’s up to you whether you meet face-to-face, online, or on phone.)
Sessions run from 7.15-9.15pm with a tea break in the middle.
Doors open at 7pm, feel free to arrive from then for a drink and a time to chat a bit more.
Once you have completed our two Introductory Courses, you can continue your exploration in Going Deeper. You don’t need to think of yourself as a Buddhist, just someone who’s interested.
Each series, on a particular theme, is designed
to support you in deepening your understanding and practice of Buddhist ideas
and meditation. Going Deeper can help you apply Buddhist teachings in your
life, developing greater mindfulness, positive emotion and wisdom. With greater
awareness and kindness we can transform ourselves and the way we relate to
other people and the world, making our lives more honest, meaningful and
enjoyable.
All our classes and events are run by donation, there is no fixed fee. Please watch this video to understand more deeply what that means.
