Learn Vedic Meditation in 4x90 minute sessions
A course in Meditation that goes deeper, a practice that easily integrates into a busy schedule and a teacher to support you for life. But why meditate?
Our experience of life is entirely generated by our state of mind. A course in Vedic Meditation instils an effortless, sustainable practice that will deeply enhance the lens in which you perceive the world, pulling the relevant things into focus and letting go of things less worthy of our attention. Through the daily practice of this technique, we effortlessly arrive in a calmer, more joyful, higher state of consciousness, a broader more expansive awareness, with an increased ability to innovate and adapt in every moment. The scientific evidence base behind a daily meditation practice is extensive, with benefits ranging from deeper sleep, enhanced cognitive function and cardiovascular health. This style of meditation does not require prior experience or ask one to restrict the mind. If you can think thoughts, you can meditate. Learn an effortless meditation technique in 4 x 90-minute sessions & create a sustainable, regular practice that will easily integrate into your busy life.
ABOUT VEDIC MEDITATION
A course in Vedic Meditation will give you a deep understanding of the mechanics of the body and mind inside meditation. In 4x90 minute sessions, you’ll become a self-sufficient, expert meditator. Drawn from the ancient Indian knowledge base of The Veda, Vedic Meditation is a mantra-based technique, practiced for 20 minutes, twice per day. We sit comfortably with eyes closed and our back supported, allowing the body and the mind to settle down to its least excited state. We transcend. Rather than trying to restrict the mind, with the use of your personalised mantra, the mind is charmed to go beyond thought. This is called this Transcendence. This transcendent style of meditation is easy & sustainable.
Once your practice is done, it's back into action - ready to enjoy whatever the day has to offer.
WHAT TO EXPECT
The Vedic Meditation technique is taught in person in 4 x 90-minute sessions over four consecutive days.

Think small intimate groups in the stunning and comfortable setting of Lawson Flats. You will receive a personalised mantra; we’ll meditate together, and we’ll dive deep into the details of this 6,000-year-old technique. You’ll learn the mechanics of meditation and how to understand and embrace the natural tenancies of the body and mind inside meditation. We’ll discuss home practice and how to smoothly integrate it into your daily schedule.
This important student-teacher relationship lasts a lifetime and includes support such as:
- A standing invitation to our weekly group meditations (online & in person)
- A follow up check in session with me to field any questions you might have about your practice
- Warmly welcomed to re-sit the course or any part of the course, whenever we are running them in the future (usually monthly).
