Meditation Workshops

Monthly meditation workshops for women who want to (re-)engage with meditation practice.

Meditation offers mental calm and upliftment, as well as deepening intuition.

This series supports a developing practice and you can dip in and out according to your availability and interest. You will go away with techniques and mindset to serve you for years to come.

These 2.5 hour sessions offer:

  • guidance on technique
  • support from hatha yoga (embodied practices of asana and pranayama)
  • coaching on developing your practice
  • spiritual readings and reflections
  • circle for what is coming up on your path
  • time for Q & A

Each session is followed by vegan souper soup, chat and a chance to develop a supportive community 30 minutes or so to 1pm

These sessions are for you if you:

  • are curious about how meditation can help you to live well
  • want more inner peace and sense of purpose
  • have inklings (or more) about that which is greater than us

These sessions are probably not for you if you:

  • have an established meditation practice in a school with high orthodoxy
  • are unable to sit on a cushion on the floor usually
  • do not already have experience with yoga or similar embodient practice a certain strength-flexibility and training of the nervous system is foundational. You could join the Newbies course starting in January.

Fiona has a long-established practice and draws on yoga philosophy (Vedanta) and Christian contemplation. Read this piece about Quiet and Still – space for grace.

What they say

“Having not had any previous experience of meditation but always being intrigued by it, Fiona’s session workshop offered me the perfect opportunity. I was worried the morning might seem quite long but time flew and I found myself upset when it had to come to an end (even though that meant a yummy soup).
The workshop was the perfect balance between practicing techniques and learning about the basic components of meditation. It went a lot deeper into emotions than I had expected but Viveka gardens gave a warm supportive environment to open up and it was a lovely group of like minded people who I felt comfortable to be around. I didn’t feel pressurised to share if I didn’t want to. I can’t wait to come to the next one to explore it more as someone who struggles to take time out from my busy life style to have some ‘me’ time.” E, North Tawton, Meditation sessions
