Meditation for Intermediates (4-week course)

Deepen Your Practice & Improve Your Meditation Skills

This intermediates course is perfect for those who have already tried meditation but would like to develop their practice further. The practice sessions will be longer and will have fewer prompts than in the beginner sessions, and over the four weeks, we’ll work through some new concepts and tools that will help you to deepen your meditation practice and uncover all the benefits a calm and balanced state of mind can bring you.

When we’re no longer a total beginner and we’re enjoying the benefits meditation can bring us, we may have a desire to take it further but find ourselves unsure of how to reduce the obsessive distraction or sleepiness, and how to go from needing short guided meditations to having our own regular, self-guided practice. This course is aimed to bridge that gap. 

Course Requirements

It is a prerequisite for this course that you have some experience of meditation (such as through our 3-week Beginners Course, or our free Sunday classes) and some familiarity with practices such as Settling Body, Speech & Mind in Their Natural States, and Mindfulness of Breathing.

About the course

This course will consist of 4 x 1.5hr sessions, delivered Live via Google Meet on Saturday mornings, 10-11.30am from Saturday, 3rd April 2021.

You can attend sessions live or via recording.

The sessions are a mixture of dharma talks, guided meditations, meditation tips, and group discussion.

There is no need to prepare anything special – find a quiet, comfortable place where you will not be disturbed.

david

David is an experienced Buddhist contemplative and meditation guide who has studied and taught internationally for several years. He is the Co-Founder of Samadhi and a qualified mindfulness teacher, Mental Health First Aider, and an active member of the Association for Spiritual Integrity. His teaching style is clear and practical, and his warm and humorous approach makes him a popular mindfulness teacher. In his own practise and teachings, David focusses on the core themes of Early Buddhism and emphasises the practices of Shamatha (meditative quiescence), and its union with Vipassana on the Four Applications of Mindfulness and the Four Immeasurables – which presents a direct path leading to the realisation of our deepest nature and the potentials of consciousness, and closely follows how the Buddha himself attained enlightenment. He considers himself to be the fortunate student of many teachers, including his root lama, Lama Alan Wallace.

If you would like to support our vision of making these teachings as accessible as possible, please consider making a donation, supporting future groups, events & retreats. Interested to know why we charge for this event and what happens to profits? Read here.
