I have never done any meditation before. Can I still join a course?
Yes, of course. Many people who attend the beginner's course are completely new to it, so you will be in good company.
Do I have to read the book before I attend?
Yes, to get the most from the course, you must read it before we begin.
How many people on the course?
I limit intake to around 20 students per class.
What is the venue like?
We hold classes in st Vincent's church Hall, 36 Altenburg Gardens SW11. It is a warm, quiet, comfortable environment... as you will see on your first visit.
I suffer from panic attacks and anxiety - will these courses help me?
Meditation is about calming the mind and moving beyond panic and fear. So, yes, these courses can be very helpful in resolving anxiety issues. This is certainly the experience of many students who have passed through the course.
I can't make all of the dates - what can I do?
Don't worry. Any missed classes can be used up as Hatha Yoga classes at the Monday night Open Drop-in classes at Chatham hall. (see timetable)
How do we sit at the classes?
You will have a choice of sitting on on cushions or a chair - the choice will be yours. You sit any way you are comfortable. Comfort is key!
Can I bring a friend on the course?
Yes! The only requirment is that all students have a genuine desire to learn and practice meditation - and must be booked onto the course. Most people come on their own however, and are delighted to discover they make new friends on the course.
“You are never alone or helpless. The force that guides the stars guides you too.”
