For people familiar with meditation

Go on a ‘micro-retreat’ right here in West London – every Saturday!

Widen and deepen your meditation practice. These sustained sessions of alternate unled sitting and walking meditation can produce a profound effect and set you up for the week to come. They are silent, with a phone app used as a timer.

Join for as little or as long as suits you.

Structure
*40 minutes Mindfulness of Breathing
*25 minutes walking
*50 minutes Metta Bhavana
*25 minutes walking
*30 minutes Just Sitting

Followed by an optional tea and a discussion of how your meditation went.

These sessions began in 2012, led by the late WLBC teacher Jinananda (d 2017) with a core group of practitioners. The original meditators use the name ‘Jinananda Group’  in tribute to the group’s founder.

Depending on room availability at WLBC, the venue can vary. Further information from JinanandaGroup@gmail.com.
