Course Overview: This course designed by Zen Master Daizan Skinner covers specific meditation practices for cultivating the heart mind. It is based on the 4 Boundless Meditations (Shimuryo Zammai) of Zen Master Torei, which in turn draw on the traditional practices of the 4 Heavenly Abodes (Brahma Viharas). We will dedicate a week to each practice, with an additional week to integrate everything:
Week 1: Loving Kindness (Metta / Ji)
Week 2: Compassion (Karuna / Jihi)
Week 3: Sympathetic Joy (Mudita / Ki)
Week 4: Peace & Equanimity (Upekha / Sha)
Week 5: Integrating the Compassion Plus Meditations
Digital learning materials (video recordings, guided meditations & weekly handouts) will be provided to support your practice.

*** The Journey not the Destination - Monthly Meditation Meetup ***
When: First Wednesday of the month 8-9pm (UK time)
Where: Online (Zoom)
Investment: Free / donations-based
Monthly meetup for people who have begun their meditation journey and wish to join a supportive group to practice with, learn alongside & grow together as you navigate the way.
If you normally practice alone, perhaps with the help of a book or an app, or you've been on retreat or a course and now you are looking to connect with other meditators, this is for you.
We will be primarily focusing on the practice of Deep Listening & Loving Speech. Each session will have an introduction, practice time, sharing & an opportunity for Q&A.
