Wake up and Live 8-week course

This 8-week course is aimed at looking a little deeper into mindfulness and meditation. In it, Zen master Daizan Skinner will introduce you to some Zen meditation techniques and practices designed to explore what it means to develop a sense of grounding, and to have an understanding of yourself and the nature of reality.

This course is suitable if you’re looking for an introduction to meditation and ways of finding out who you are and what your relationship is to the world. You don't need to have any previous meditation experience - only a keen desire or intention to know more about who you really are!
