The urban man and woman have been in overdrive for years, rapidly accelerating since the loss of their childhood innocence. Since the day you were born parents, politicians, schools and other organised institutions have all been quick to offer you answers to questions you were not asking - most often with good intentions.

The personality is now formed and you may find yourself being pulled in discomforting directions by desires, beliefs, and old wounds. You may be left with a sense of "who am I? What is my purpose in life?"



The mind never ceases to halt for a moment's reflection. Mobile phones, laptops, meetings, heavy duty weekends, and not a single moment for oneself to sit in complete silence and just let things be.

Working or existing mechanically in jobs we do not particularly like, falling victim to cravings and temptations to purchase and do things we do not want.



Just try to stop your mind for a moment and see the futility of it. It lives in hopes of the future which may never come, and clings onto the scars and experiences of the past, never allowing a moment for the ever-present bliss of the here-now, this very moment to moment.

IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THIS WAY.

You can have a still and peaceful mind in order to get more clarity and a sense of direction of your life. Do not take my word for it and accumulate another useless belief, experience this for yourself.

Whether you are completely new to meditation or meditate on a regular basis our classes are self contained and designed for all.

Classes comprise of both meditation and discourses based around fundamental issues which affect our day to day lives and wellbeing and look at practical ways to go about them without avoiding the primary issues.

Urbanwakeup sessions are held every Monday in the Water Poet's private function room and are usually structured as follows: (date and locations may vary in the future although all members shall be notified when this is the case)



7:00pm – Introduction to the evening’s session

7:15pm – Dharma Talk

8:00pm – Guided meditation

8:35pm – Q&A

8:45pm – Close



Please ensure you bring a blanket/yoga mat to sit on and we would advise you bring a change of comfortable clothes in order to aid in the relaxation of your meditation.

There is no cost to participate in any Urbanwakeup session. A contribution may be provided by each individual who attends, which is passed onto the staff of the venue which we have been provided as a gratitude gesture for their kindness.

Come with an open mind, be submerged into the session and aim to have a deeper understanding of self.

As the guided meditation shall be conducted in silence kindly ensure you give yourself enough time to get to the venue so as to not disturb others who are in meditation.

Should you have any questions feel free to contact me at nima@urbanwakeup.com
