Peace of mind and heart
led by Nick Carroll
“There are dozens of meditation techniques, but it all comes down to this - just let it all be.”
– Ajahn Chah

Our days of practice are an opportunity to slow down, be still and experience the sensations, emotions, and thought processes that arise in consciousness, and their relationship with each other. Not only can we observe all these phenomena, but we can also reflect on where it all arises, which brings us closer to the heart of our practice – Awareness itself – where we can wake up to Peace of Mind and Heart

Structure to the day
The day will start with an optional early morning sitting meditation. You can start joining us at 6am and the morning puja and meditation will be from 6.30-7.30am.

Health considerations
Please note that our events are not intended as a treatment for mental health conditions. Meditation and periods of silence can be experienced by some as quite challenging. If you have any concerns that you might be detrimentally affected by participating in one of our day events or retreats, please discuss your concerns with a relevant mental health professional before registering.
Should you experience any difficulties whilst participating in one of our events and require support, please contact a relevant mental health professional as we are not able to offer support through a crisis online.
