Meditation Class
Discover deep rest through meditation
Find release from external pressures, habitual patterns and tension in the body with our meditation classes. By embracing the art of non-doing and developing the skill of deep rest, meditation can help you to feel more vibrantly alive.
Participants in our classes report an improved sense of well-being, with increased energy and physical health, clearer thinking and greater self-confidence among the many benefits.
Classes draw on The Realisation Process, developed by Judith Blackstone PhD after a career-ending injury led her on her own journey of physical and emotional healing. The group sessions are led by Louise Reader, a warm and empathetic teacher, and meditation can be done whilst seated.
Join us to reconnect with a deeper sense of self.
