About the event
This time we’ll be continuing to develop our practices begun in the first workshop. Master Tan will discuss the thinking in relation to the practice of meditation of Master Dhammaga (a Buddhist monk in Kanchanaburi, Thailand, and Master Tan’s Master) and introduce different exercises for participants to try, test, and explore.
This workshop will take us further into practices that can be used to preserve our inner balance while we deal with daily life. It can be attended as a one-off, but there is a follow up workshop (Stillness in Movement 3 - Awakening our Healing Power, May 17th) which is recommended.
Please bring a yoga mat or something similar, and a tea cup!
“I was thoroughly fascinated by the meditation event. Very interesting… It seemed to me at the beginning of the event that that was Tan’s general approach to it. It was to be a practical thing. That then seemed to be expressed by the wee exercise with the candles, which seemed a good way to show you something, to get you thinking, and then to get you doing… All in, I think it was a splendid thing. It had some entertainment, some information, some philosophical musing (nearly), some wee stories, some practical bits, some hard-edged experience… all good things to set off the meditation ball rolling for folk, get them engaged.”
“His teaching is straight to the point.. he just says it as it is.. I find that easy to understand.
His practical examples of what Meditation is was excellent and very effective and the fact we all got to walk outside in our bare feet definitely wakened us up. From now on I know what to do when I need to stop and think!”
