The Elephant's Footprint Meditations on Impermanence

Buddha taught that just as the elephant leaves the deepest footprint of all animals, meditation on impermanence leaves the deepest impression on the mind.

In this special one-day course, we will explore the transformative power of contemplating impermanence and our own mortality. Moving beyond a simple intellectual understanding, these meditations guide us towards a deep, personal insight that can profoundly shift how we live.

Although we understand on some level that everything is changing and nothing stays the same, we rarely reflect on what this truly means for our life. Far from being unsettling, a sincere awareness of impermanence brings clarity, purpose, and peace. It helps us let go of distractions and worries, appreciate what truly matters, and live each day with greater meaning, kindness, and wisdom.

The day will include guided meditations, practical teachings, time for discussion as well as periods of quiet reflection. Set within peaceful surroundings, with access to a quiet garden space to enjoy between sessions, this course offers a rare opportunity to step back from busyness and engage in meaningful inner reflection.

Suitable for those wishing to go a little deeper in their meditation practice, this day course offers powerful tools for inner transformation and a fresh perspective on life.

Everyone is welcome
