Course of Instruction
The beginners meditation course is offered over four consecutive days with each session lasting approximately 1 ½ hours.
In session one you learn the basic mechanics of how to meditate. By the end of the session you know the fundamentals of the technique and are able to practise on your own at home. The benefits of meditation are gained immediately.
Over the following three days the technique is checked, refined and knowledge is gained of the effects of meditation on your mind & body, and the development of higher states of consciousness. At the end of the course you will have practical experience combined with theoretical understanding that allows you to be self-sufficient in your practice.
The course is conducted in small groups of a maximum of 5 people from Tuesday to Friday evenings, at 74 Brighton Road, Parnell. Private courses of instruction are available on request and we will do our best to work around your schedule.
