Mindfulness and Meditation with Support: A Day of Explanation, Practice and Teachings on the Psychology of Meditation with Sarah Lionheart

Sarah has an MA from Stanford University and whilst studying for her PhD at Durham University  she began more traning in meditaiton.  Sarah has trained in three traditions: Christianity, Hinduism and Tibetan Buddhism.  In her twenties she was a bramacharini in the Ramakrishna Vivekanandra Kendra, then in a teaching Catholic order (via a silent Carmelite monastery) and now is a wife, mother and yoga teacher training in Tibetan Buddhism.

Sarah teaches with a good balance of serious explanation and touches of humour as she refers to incidents in her own training and stories from the various traditions.    There will be at least four sessions of meditation during the day.....where the students practice what Sarah has just taught and then give feedback and ask questions about the practice. 

Yoga mats are not required.  Bring something to sit comfortably either on the floor or a chair or for both.  We will stretch a little now and again so as not to get too stiff or uncomfortable.
