Mindful Living (5-week series)

This course had ended. This course was the basis for the book, A Practical Guide to Mindful Living.

Learn to Live Mindfully – Find Happiness and Peace of Mind

Mindfulness is becoming increasingly popular and for a good reason – with many benefits to be achieved in our mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing. But with so many apps, courses and videos out there and so many different approaches, it can be unclear exactly what mindfulness is, or how and why we apply it to our daily life. 

During this five-week course, we will learn the essential principles of mindfulness and discover techniques to live more mindfully. We will learn to make sense of and navigate these challenging times by utilising practical, down-to-earth meditation skills. Living in this way, the body and mind will start to unwind, allowing natural healing to take place as we become calmer, happier and more positive.

About the course

This course will consist of 5 x 1.5hr sessions, delivered Live via Google Meet on Thursday evenings, 7-8.30pm from Thursday, 9th February 2021 to Thursday, 9th March 2021.

We encourage you to attend all sessions live, interact with the rest of the group, make friends, and share in the discussion sessions. 

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.
