SUMMARY:Meditation Group Sit
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nAbout:\nThis will be a gathering together of people in the community who meditate for their wellbeing and personal development. It will aim to include both beginner and experienced meditators. It will be non-sectarian although the practices are rooted in Buddhism. The aim is to create a supportive group of meditators who can gather regularly and benefit from each others’ practice.\nTaught by:\nTom Veck – ‘I am a qualified mindfulness and meditation teacher running beginner, intermediate and 1-1 courses in Somerset UK both in and out of nature. I first discovered the impact that meditation could have on my mental and emotional wellbeing when I attended a 10 day silent Vipassana retreat whilst in India in 2003. I was amazed by the dramatic effect that paying mindful, non judgemental attention to my breath, body and mind could have. In the years that have followed I have kept up my meditation practice and attended 10 more of these retreats and several other meditation retreats. I am now a qualified mindfulness teacher and have been teaching mindfulness courses for the last 5 years.’ \nSuitable for:\nAnyone over 16 with an interest in and some experience of meditation.\nBenefits of the class:\n\nGaining a new perspective on stressful situations\nCreating community\nBuilding skills to manage your stress.\nIncreasing self-awareness.\nIncreasing patience and tolerance\n\nWhat to wear/bring:\nBring a cushion, blanket and something soft to put on the floor. If you’d rather sit on a chair we will provide a chair.\nTestimonials:\n“In-person courses are so much more engaging and immersive than online or through apps. . After a prolonged period of virtual input and isolation, to have not only an expert tutor but also the proactive and shared experience of our group with the opportunity to share and gain from the ideas and experiences of our peers too has been invaluable.”\n“Through your teaching of mindful meditation, I feel that you/Tom have given us expert guidance and helped us to build our capacity to focus inward and also to recognise and reduce our self judgement. Focusing on building a hierarchy of awareness and patterns to follow has really boosted my skillset and confidence to meditate effectively and to engage mindfully at different times of the day.”\nCost of class:\n£10 payable on the day. Termly payment options will also be available, week 1 will be a free.\nBooking\nhttps://www.mindfulness-now.com/\n\n\n\n
