"Who am I really?", "Where am I from?", "What is fear?"

Want to know who you really are? I mean really... deep down in your true nature? This may seem like too huge a question to answer but in the Rinzai Zen tradition, we know it is totally possible to answer these deep, philosophical questions using techniques that have been mastered for centuries through the Master/Disciple (student) relationship. Just as with the Meditation and Mindfulness Course for Stress and Wellbeing, anybody can learn these techniques no matter what their life experience has been and open the door to a world they could never have imagined. 

 

This course challenges you to question everything you've ever known at a very deep existential level. By doing so, you start to see your true reality, the true nature of your suffering and your true potential. You start to see how limited you have been by modern life and how the power to break through your conditioning, depression, self-hatred, lack of confidence etc, is accessible all the time anytime. You just need to know how... Many students have experienced instantaneous awakening experiences on this course. Out of nowhere the answer appears... It's a truly beautiful sight to behold and one that I know every single person can experience. 

​

The topics covered are:

​

1. Developing knowledge and awareness of our changing world

2. Seeing the true nature of stress and suffering

3. Understanding the mental effects of meditation using Koans

In addition to the core components of the course, I allow all the space and time necessary for group discussion and interaction in each session which past students have found invaluable to their development through meditation and mindfulness. This is essential to my teaching approach and to enabling people to truly develop throughout the 8-week period. Read more about the role this has played for past students on the Reviews page. I am totally committed to your development throughout the course and beyond.
