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.
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.
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.
✔ 4 sessions with retreat leader, David Oromith
✔ Longer guided meditations with fewer prompts, designed to help us deepen our practice.
✔ Dharma talks - exploring the theory behind meditation and the hows and whys.
✔ A chance to discuss with others and ask questions
✔ Access to an exclusive Facebook Group for support and interaction with the Sangha.
✔ Lifetime access to the 4-week course online

"Dassetu’s guided meditations help bring peace and calm to a busy mind. I highly recommend his retreats and will be attending future events. I enjoyed his relaxation day retreat and was able to completely disconnect and be present. I also met a wonderful group of people, I know I will remain friends with.
Thank you Dassetu for the wonderful work you do. Namaste. 🙏🏻🦋"
