The practice of meditation and mindfulness is not only good for you, it can also lead to you finding your true self and living your most powerful and authentic life.
Many generations of Zen Masters have devoted their lives to this practice, carrying and passing on the teachings like an Olympic torch down through the centuries.
This 8 Week Course is designed to help those who wish to explore the Rinzai Zen way to finding out who you really are and living this true life for the benefit of all. It draws on the centuries of experience and understanding passed down in the Zen tradition and is accredited by the International Mindfulness Teacher Association (IMTA).
This course is not Buddhist or religious though, nor does it require you to believe or follow any tradition in particular. The only requirement is to be open and willing to practice.
You don’t need previous meditation experience to follow this course but in order to gain the full benefits we’ll ask you to commit to 30 minutes of practice each day for 8 weeks.
