In partnership with Meditation Groundwork.
Saturday Morning Meditation Immersion
This Saturday morning session is designed to give participants a direct experience of what a meditation retreat morning can feel like.
Over three unhurried hours, you’ll be guided through a sequence of complementary meditation practices that build on mindfulness of the body and expand into other supportive techniques, including:
- Body scan and body awareness
- Walking meditation
- Loving-kindness (metta)
- Periods of quiet sitting and reflection
The structure is simple and supportive, making this suitable for first-timers as well as those who already practice.
The emphasis is not on learning concepts, but on having a direct, embodied experience of stillness, awareness, and ease.
