Meditation for Real Life

​A three-hour introduction to meditation

​Most people who are curious about meditation never quite start. The imagery feels too spiritual, the instructions too vague, or the idea of sitting in silence too uncomfortable.

​Meditation for Real Life is built for exactly those people.

​This is a single three-hour session on Zoom (with breaks). No prior experience required. Just practical, grounded instruction in four core meditation approaches, taught in plain language with space to ask real questions.

​What the session covers

​The workshop runs in two parts with a break in between.

​Part 1 covers arriving and settling, breath awareness as a tool for training attention, and open reflection on what you noticed.

​Part 2 covers loving kindness as a practice for emotional warmth and wellbeing, open awareness for relating to thoughts and sensations with more ease, and a clear picture of how meditation fits into everyday life.
