Three Days to Deepen Mindfulness
Sitting meditation helps us create space to handle our difficulties and touch vitality and freedom. Join us for a practical journey with concrete guidance on finding a posture that works for you, overcoming the most common obstacles, and really enjoying your sitting meditation.
We look forward to deepening our mindfulness practice and connecting to one another as we explore these issues.
Please familiarise yourself with the curriculum below, so you can organise your time to join the full program.
