Learn Zen Meditation

8-week Meditation & Mindfulness for Beginners Course

Modern life can be extremely stressful. It’s easy to become overwhelmed by the drive to succeed and lose one’s way.

When that happens people often discover that the same modern way of life that has driven them to the edge provides little by way of support to help them find their way back to peace and contentment. Zen Meditation and Mindfulness is an ancient practice that enables the individual to transcend the artificial constructs that box them in and cultivate wellness through clarity and insight.

Elizabeth’s 8-week Beginner Mindfulness & Meditation Course provides a way for the novice to build the foundations of their meditation practice through an understanding of the basic principles.  She also runs an in-person 4-week Heart Zen & Compassion Meditation Course. All of Elizabeth’s meditation courses are held at Tonbridge Castle, in Kent. 

Mindfulness and meditation practices provide a highly effective way to reduce stress. Best of all, you don’t have to be a Zen master to enjoy this benefit. Elizabeth’s Beginner Mindfulness & Meditation Course provides you with the basic tools you need to start down the road to greater overall health and wellbeing.

How are these different to MBSR & MBCT courses?

(MBSR: Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction & MBCT: Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy)

Our courses are purely meditation and mindfulness based, with no admixtures of psychotherapy, and the orientation is teacher-student rather than therapist-client. Although our practices are being used in the NHS and other healthcare settings, we take a much wider view of wellbeing, believing that it’s more than simply alleviating psychological distress or stress reduction but also optimising each individual’s life experience and unleashing their maximum potential.

All of our courses are kept to small numbers (usually no more than 10 people per course), this enables group members to part-take and to share their experiences more easily during the online weekly sessions.  You do not need to have any meditation experience or have an interest in Buddhism to join our courses.
