We will gather within the walls of the sheltered Court Garden and invite its peaceful beauty to support us, as we learn to cultivate through guided meditation practice a pleasant steadiness of body, heart and mind, nurturing helpful ways of relating to our experience and to ourselves. In doing so, we sow seeds that can ripen into greater ease, happiness and appreciation in our lives
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT?
We will spend most of the class in two separate periods of guided meditation, with a short, simple and optional mindful-movement sequence offered inbetween.
All comers are welcome, including those who are totally new to meditation, and you will have the option to sit on a bench, lay down, or sit on a zafu (meditation cushion) on the floor.
Please arrive in good time for a 9.30am start.
WHAT WILL I NEED?
Yoga mats, meditations cushion, benches and blankets are provided. If you have your own props, then you are warmly invited to bring them along.
Cover from unseasonal weather is available but please dress to keep warm outside for the hour-long class.
WHY IS IT A DONATION EVENT?
Andrew is deeply inspired by the Buddhist tradition of dana (generosity) and offers his meditation classes in line with this beautiful principle.
The teaching is offered freely in the hope that it will be valuable to those that attend, and you are in turn invited to offer support in line with your sense of that value, and as appropriate to your circumstances. This approach means we have the chance to step outside of the usual service provider/consumer dynamic and into a more wholesome and conscious relationship of mutual support.
Donations are invited when you register so that those who can and wish to offer their financial support, can do so. Please consider donating if your circumstances allow, as this ensures the ongoing sustainability of the mornings and means that others can benefit from the class, regardless of their own income or circumstances.
In a world where nearly everything has a price tag this is an unusual arrangement, so for those who wish for more guidance, a suggested donation of £5-10 is mentioned, but please hold these figures lightly, proceeding with sensitivity to your circumstances. Trebah Gardens will receive 30% of your donation.
If you wish to attend but are unable to offer financial support, please do come along for free and feel most welcome to do so, but please also still register, so that we know who to expect and who to contact if the need arises.
Spaces are limited to fifteen.
With thanks for your generosity and support.
