fortnightly ‘live’ sessions are on Tuesdays – details from John (see below)
Secular zen is grounded, not in words, theories and intellectual analysis, but in zazen – silent mindful meditation. This is what distinguishes it from more discursive Buddhist practices and from much of western philosophy. By ‘silent’ we don’t mean that the space in which we sit has to be without sound, but rather that we are silent towards our experiences – we don’t add words, commentary or judgments to what we are mindful of – we learn the art of gently letting go of our habitual mental ‘chattering’.
Our regular guided meditation, talks, book suggestions and links are available on the Resources page – click here : RESOURCES
