This is an introspective class exploring meditation, inquiry and the contemplative traditions as something to be lived rather than simply understood.
We meditate together and explore teachings drawn from non-duality, yoga, Buddhism and other contemplative traditions, continually returning to direct experience. Rather than hearing a philosophy and leaving it as an idea, we investigate it together: What does this actually mean? Can we recognise it in our own experience? What happens when it meets our relationships, emotions, difficulties and ordinary life?
The group itself becomes part of the inquiry. Questions, observations and lived experience can open a teaching in ways that solitary study often cannot, allowing us to explore these philosophies together rather than simply being told what they mean.
Some evenings may contain longer periods of meditation; others naturally open into more inquiry and conversation. The direction develops from the teaching, the practice and what is genuinely present within the group.
No particular belief or previous meditation experience is required. The invitation is simply to practise, question, explore and discover what these teachings reveal when we actually live with them.
Over time, the class becomes a place to return to these questions together.
The practice continues beyond the meditation cushion and into ordinary life.
What we discover is not something separate from the way we live.
