The courses provide guidance on a simple and proven method of meditation, giving participants the experience of stillness and quiet, leading to full instruction in the practice. Open discussion is encouraged.
Courses take place over four weeks, starting at 7pm, with class times lasting approximately 90 minutes. The final fifth session is the giving of the method of meditation, conducted in person, even for those joining an online course, at the School's premises in London.
The cost of the course is £300. From then on, course attendees are offered lifelong support with their meditation at no further charge.
We are always happy to discuss alternative methods of payment with anybody who cannot pay the full amount upfront.
