The Art of Self-Healing Module 1 - Healing Meditation starts Saturday 28th March

Dear friends, Next weekend we will move onwards with our journey of self-care by starting to look at the healing capacity of meditation. As many of you know, Healing Dharma has been the focus of all my teachings on retreats since I started. This curated course gathers together material given on various retreats over the years and relates them to the process of self-healing through meditation practice. The course will start and end with an intensive online retreat (28th/29th March & 6th/7th...

Dear friends, It's been a few weeks since we finished our Connecting in Authenticity course. Moving on from this, we are now about to launch our three part online healing programme which will run for the rest of the year.

Dear friends, This weekend we begin our journey of exploration into how we might identify our needs, priorities and aspirations at the start of this year, and to genuinely align with them so that the efforts you make in all areas of your spiritual life best serve you. We fully understand that with meditation there is no 'one size fits all', and we want to help each of you find the right approach and practices that suit your needs. And with such a wide range of students that I am talking to, I...

Dear friends, With the start of the New Year, it is a good time to take stock and reflect on the year that has past, where we are at, and what might be our aspirations for the year ahead. In particular now is a good time to review your practice over the past year and ask where you feel you want to take it from here. Some of you might be feeling the call to re-establish a practice that you have let slip a little. Wherever you are on your journey, we would like to help and encourage you as much...
