Samatha & Vipassana — Live Online Classes
A practical 8-week course combining direct meditation practice, theoretical understanding, personal reflection and guided interaction.
Classes are held in English.
This cycle of the Vipassana Meditation Seminar is designed as a practical and progressive journey into Samatha and Vipassana meditation.
The aim is to develop a more stable, clear and mindful relationship with one's own experience while gradually cultivating calm, concentration, awareness and insight.
Each class usually includes meditation practice, teaching and space for questions and reflection.
When appropriate and time allows, classes may also include Ruesri Dat Ton – Thai Yoga, Krishnamacharya’s zero-resistance exercises and Chi Kung.
Samatha cultivates calm, stability and concentration. It helps the mind become steadier and less easily pulled away by distraction.
Vipassana develops clear awareness and insight, allowing thoughts, emotions and bodily experience to be observed more directly and with less automatic reaction.
The seminar develops progressively from week to week, allowing time to practise between classes and return with questions, observations and difficulties from your own experience.
A recording is provided after each lesson so participants can revisit the teaching and continue their practice during the week.
The teaching is practical and experiential. Participants are encouraged to observe carefully, investigate their own experience and develop a practice that can gradually become part of everyday life.
