Current teaching status: UPDATED 1st Nov 2020
Wednesday 4th November is the last in-person class for now.
There will be no class on Wednesday 11th November because I'll be attending a (virtual) retreat.
From Wednesday 18th November we'll be back on Zoom, as before.
As always, check out the Teaching page for details.
I offer weekly classes, courses and events in Cheltenham - there's something to suit every taste!

  • My weekly Zen class is open to all levels of experience but is particularly intended to support your on-going meditation practice.
 
  • I also run day retreats and other events covering a range of topics. Right now I don't have any in the calendar, due to the (considerable) limitations of the Covid-Secure environment at the studio, but if you'd like to be kept informed of future events, please join my mailing list here!
 
  • From time to time I teach courses - a six-week beginners' course which follows the structure of Pathways of Meditation, an eight-week Mindfulness for Health and Well-being course, and an eight-week Zen for Insight and Grounding course. At the moment my available teaching time is fully booked with private and corporate courses, but please get in touch if you're interested in one of these courses. All courses are available online via Zoom, subject to finding a time slot that works for us both.

Zen class
In this weekly class we explore the wide world of Zen. Classes typically begin with a short quiet sit or guided meditation to settle the mind, followed by a talk exploring some aspect of the Zen path, and concluding with some movement and meditation practices which put the teachings into action, with time for questions and discussion at the end.

The class is free, running on a donation basis, and explores a wide range of themes from week to week, drawn from a mixture of Zen and the early Buddhist tradition.

We have a small, friendly group, and newcomers are always welcome. Each session is self-contained, and instructions are tailored to the experience levels of students in the room that week, so you can start any time. Come along and give it a try!
Wednesdays, 7.45pm-9pm.

Booking is essential: please see the OrangeYoga website to sign up.
