This event has already happened.
‘Establishing a Creative Meditation Practice’ – 4 Week Course:
Do you want to liven up your meditation practice or meditate with more confidence.
This course intends to help set up and establish a more effective, enriched, meditation practice of your own.
Working creatively on the mind, with the mind.
This is a chance for an in depth exploration, through meditation exercises, short talks, discussion and body work as we uncover ways that support us to really hone our meditation practice throughout the 4 weeks.
Finding something that really works for you and allows you to establish a creative and more dynamic meditation practice.
– This 4 week course is aimed at those who’ve already learnt the basic form of the mindfulness of breathing and metta bhavana / loving kindness meditation in a foundation course or similar.

This Week! Week 1: Exploring posture & heart in meditation:
We will explore posture and the heart of meditation, setting the important foundation for subsequent weeks. How can we move towards a more open, easeful posture, where energy and relaxation come more into balance. This will, of course, look and feel differently for each of us.
Starting from where we are at, without judgment, and with a playful creative responsiveness to whats unfolding in our direct experience, we will sense through the various ways we can work with the heart in meditation. We will also take a look at the role of the imagination in our metta practice, seeing if it can allow us to better connect to this important heart aspect of meditation, encouraging a more present, vivid, and connected life.

Week 2: Exploring balanced effort and directionality in meditation.
Week 3: Exploring pleasure, joy and receptivity in meditation
Week 4: Exploring focus and breadth in meditation
