If you want to go from being concerned about Covid 19 restrictions and other threatening situations, to being at ease in yourself and empowered, Vipassana Meditation (also called Insight meditation) is a great option for you.

It can help you to take a long, clear look at your situation while remaining balanced and energized.

You’ll quickly understand how this practice is unlike other forms of meditation that you may have heard about.

It’s a completely different approach from meditation practices that aim for intensive concentration and that tend to be reclusive and austere.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about and practise traditional Buddhist Vipassana (Insight) Meditation at the House of Dhamma.

In general, courses are one or two days long, quiet but not silent, in an air-conditioned room and, if you prefer it, you can sit on a chair.

All you need to be able to do

is stand, walk, sit or lie down and breathe.

'We have been doing meditation on and off, but with the world turning topsy turvy in the last few months, it has now become an important part of our routine to use meditation to stay sane. We would like to thank you deeply for teaching us this life skill, it truly is an important refuge for us when everything outside seems too much to bear.' Martyn & Matt
