Buddhist Vipassana Meditation
Introductory courses


 

Introductory Course details

You will be given a theoretical background to Samatha (Concentration) meditation and shown how it differs from Vipassana (Insight) meditation.

You will be shown how meditation forms an integral part of 'Bhavana’ mental development and how it relates the Noble Eightfold Path.

You will gradually be guided through exercises to improve
your concentration and bare awareness "sati",including standing, walking, sitting and lying down exercises.

Vipassana meditation follow-up days

Vipassana meditation follow-up days
in small groups at the House of Dhamma

(More suitable after the Introductory course. See above.)


Each applicant’s meditation experience will be considered when applying. Concentration-based practice is good preparation for Vipassana. However, the transition from mantra-based practice to Sati-based Vipassana may take some time.

This practice is suitable for adults.

Gentlewarrior Gatherings

 

Once a month in 2013, here’s a place and a time for those who are concerned about the current political and economic changes to come together and share opinions and to consider ways to personally deal with those ongoing changes.

Many of us know something is going on but can't quite put it into words, or maybe we can, but there are the questions that arise from that realization....

What can I do about it?   and the biggie "HOW" ?

Each of us has a unique part of the puzzle. Now we can put the puzzle pieces together.

Important Notice for October and November, 2013

 

Due to the strong possibility of flooding again this year, few courses have been scheduled for the end of October and the beginning of November, 2013. Instead, meditation and frequency healing workshops can be set up on request, either on an individual basis or as small group sessions for you and your friends.

Courses vary in length. Many of them run for two consecutive days from 10 in the morning to 5 in the evening. Some take place over one day and the pendulum and crystal classes run for two hours, usually in the morning.

You can get full details for the regular format of each of the courses at the following links:
