​

There are two main reasons to meditate. 

 

Reason 1 is about reducing suffering

Most people come to meditation because they want to feel better. Have less stress and anxiety, sleep better, perhaps be more focused and more effective. And they also come to meditation because they want to be a better partner/parent/friend and fellow human being. Less insane, more present.

And to feel better and be a better presence in the world, we find, are intrinsically connected. This is why ethics is such an important part of the contemplative path.

Reason 2is intellectual and motivated by curiosity

Who am I truly? What is the meaning of life? What happens when we die?

What are thoughts made of and why do they hold such power over me? And what exists beyond thoughts?

​

Traditionally, meditation was never meant to be about stress reduction, but about clarity, starting to see things as they really are, not the way we are.

Regardless of YOUR reason for meditating or being curious about meditation, we hope that you'll find these Monday evenings both interesting and useful. 

We'll explore different meditation techniques, drawing on different traditions. 

We start with a little bit of mindful movement, maybe some breathing exercises, and we might bring in a theme or a topic to discuss or a brief talk. Then we sit together for 20-30 minutes and have some time after, to share, chat and ask questions.

​

These sessions are co-taught by myself and Sofia Sundqvist, proprietress of Boklunda Gård.
