  • Learn Meditation and Mindfulness

    A structured 6-week program that teaches you how to meditate in stillness, and how to take a meditative awareness – that is, mindfulness – into daily activity.

    The program has:
    No religion
    No New Age philosophy
    No yoga philosophy
    No visualisation or guided imagery
    No music or external aids
    Nothing but quieting the busy mind

    How do we do it?
    We will teach you methods that help the mind towards the point that it can let go
    We will mentor your practice
    We will help you establish a regular practice
    You will learn to bring meditative principles into daily life
    You will consider the obstacles to letting go

    Next Program Starts Wednesday 7 Feb 2018

  • About Meditation Instruction

    Meditation instruction ought to leave you capable of meditating without any dependence on a teacher, or on an app, or on music.  Understanding how your mind interfaces with your experience of reality is part of the learning and motivates us to meditate.

  • Sitting with others in Meditation

    It is good, pleasurable in fact, to sit to meditate with others. No matter where you have learnt to meditate, you may well like to sit in a group with others meditating. Oddly, people meditating together feel very connected, even though meditation is a non-talking practice!

    Here are some times at the Blackburn room where you are invited to do just that, without any fee:

    Sundays at 8.00am

    Fridays at 7.00 pm
