Heart of Meditation Course
"Meditation wakes us up to new possibilities for choosing how we experience
our life. We have more freedom than we realise."
~Lama Shenpen
This course has been designed as an introduction to what is termed "formless" meditation, a way of opening up to your direct experience that is practised in the Dzogchen and Mahamudra schools of Tibetan Buddhism. So whether you are completely new to meditation, or have perhaps practised other forms, this course is designed to be accessible and open, to all faiths or none.
It will run over three days, on Sun 23rd September, Sat 3rd November and Sat 8th December 2012, with each day starting at 11am and ending at 4pm. The main teachers, both senior students of Lama Shenpen's with many years of experience in practice between them, will be Katie Morrow and Five Cram.
The venue is the peaceful and conducive envirnoment of St Columba's Retreat Centre in Woking, Surrey, (see www.stcolumbashouse.org.uk). This is a 15-20 minute walk from Woking Station or 3 minutes in a taxi. There are very good rail and road links to Woking, from London and elsewhere. There is plenty of parking space available on site or in nearby residential streets.
The cost for each day is £20 or £50 if you pay for all three together. Concessions are available so please do just ask if the cost would otherwise prohibit you from attending.
If you would like to have further details and a booking form, or have any particular questions, please complete the contact form (see menu on left hand side) and we'll be in touch.
