Meditation for Peace with Sam StevensMondays 7.30-8.30pm
A welcoming space for meditation practice with Sam Stevens, meditation teacher and Zen practitioner.
+ All levels of experience are welcome, whether you're an experienced meditator wanting to sit with a group, or you're looking to begin your practice, or anywhere in between.
+ You will find the support of the group will really boost your practice, and Adam will offer guidance and advice when needed.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING A SESSION
Sam’s weekly class begins with a short introduction of the practice, followed by a 30-minute guided mindfulness and compassion-based meditation. The session concludes with a bowl of tea and an opportunity for shared reflection.
Instruction will be given to those who are new to the group, and there may be instruction (for example, around Loving Kindness practice, Mindful practice, use of the breath, correct posture, exploring distractions, or Somatic Meditation).
WHO THESE SESSIONS ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR
+ If you're currently experiencing an acute situation (such as constant flashbacks, severe anxiety, psychosis) periods of silence or reflection may exacerbate your situation and wouldn't be recommended for you at this time, especially in a group situation.
+ We would not recommend any meditation or relaxation class to you if you're currently under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
