8 Week Meditation Course
'In meditation we find an ability to observe the mind and look in more detail at the stillness beyond the thoughts.'
The course will focus on teaching participants to physically relax their bodies, through creative visualisation meditation and breathing 'insight' meditation techniques.
Discussions will be held on the importance of quietness, stillness of mind, reducing stress and how to increase your experience of happiness
The aim of the course is to move through basic progressive muscle relaxation meditation to Anapana - mindfulness meditation by the end of the eighth week.
