London Meditation offers 2 different meditation classes:

Monthly Mindfulness Evening

at the home of London Meditation:
The Penthouse, 89 – 95 Parkway, Camden Town, NW1 7PP
(Street-map please see here).

Your meditation teacher Susann Herrmann
(CPsychol./OccupPsychol., MA) is trained by various teachers such as

• Jon Kabat-Zinn, Ph.D. and Saki Santorelli, Ph.D.

Suitable for new and experienced meditators.

Mindfulness is a basic human quality, a way of learning to pay wise attention to whatever is happening in your life that allows you a greater sense of connection to your life inwardly and outwardly.

Mindfulness is also a practice, a systematic method aimed at cultivating clarity, insight and understanding. In the context of your health, mindfulness is a way for you to experientially learn to take better care of yourself by exploring and understanding the interplay of mind and body and mobilizing your own inner resources for coping and growing.

Dates:

• Fri Mar 02 – Mindfulness Evening
• Fri Apr 13 – Mindfulness Evening
• Fri May 18 – Mindfulness Evening

Time: Fridays 7 - 9pm (doors open at 6.45pm)
Cost: £ 25
As always, our space is limited and therefore booking is required.

6-week Meditation Practice Group

at the home of London Meditation:
The Penthouse, 89 – 95 Parkway, Camden Town, NW1 7PP
(Street-map please see here).

Meditative practice needs commitment and continuity to get the most out of it.
You can practise at home or in a special place,
where you can share your experiences (if you like)
with the energies of a temporary
but constant meditation group afterwards
with your fellow meditators and a trained moderator...

Your facilitator Albert G. Tobler designs a programme after the first evening according to the group’s needs by selecting from the broad range of

• OSHO Active Meditations™
• Meditations from The Book of Secrets
• Mindfulness Practice
• Guided Meditations (such as visualisations, and more...)

which can be adjusted if the progress of the group requires it.

It would also be beneficial to attend an Introductory Meditation Course before joining a practice group, but this is not a requirement to become enrolled.

Dates:

• Winter practice group II: Feb 20, Feb 27, Mar 05, Mar 12, Mar 19, Mar 26

• Spring practice group I: Apr 16, Apr 23, Apr 30, May 14, May 21, May 28

• For further Meditation Practice Groups in 2012 please see calendar.

Time: Mondays 7 - 8.30pm (doors open at 6.45pm)
Cost: £ 85

Voices of the practice group

Summer / Autumn practice groups 2011:

• "I enjoyed the variety of practices. All were very different and I enjoyed each for different reasons. Thank you!"

• "I found it a very supportive atmosphere. Albert answered all questions and made me feel comfortable to give an honest response. It was the strength of the course to be around with people that enjoy meditation."

• "Trying different styles of meditation made meditation accessible. Albert is a patient and insightful teacher."

• "Thank you it was absolutely marvellous."

• "Thanks you for being part of my life in the last six week!"

• "...it’s great to have the opportunity to get the support of the group and the experience of practice and challenge."

Summer practice group 2010:

• "Thank you – I found the practice group perfect for me as I had never meditated before and felt it was a good introduction."

• "I enjoyed the different experiments in meditation techniques, also enjoyed the post-meditative conversations, especially when everyone was relaxes and debates arose. Albert is insightful and eloquent. I like his style of teaching."

• "I am really glad I had this experience. It’s very different to meditation on your own. I will come back for further ’adventures’ in the future!"

• "Once again a highly enjoyable yet challenging course. Albert’s wisdom should be bottled and sold!"

• "This is an exciting and adventurous course taken by an experienced and eloquent teacher. Could be renamed ’Adventures in Meditation’ to reflect its explorations of many different styles of meditation. Many thanks."

Spring practice group 2010:

• "I personally feel London Meditation is a great place to meditate; it is welcoming, friendly and safe. I am even recommending it to all my friends."

• "Thank you for showing me another way of living, being, thinking and experiencing life. Very good atmosphere."

• "It was good being able to choose direction in which the group was going and to have enough information which helped to make this decision. This choice – it made the group feel personal, also being able to reflect on/share experiences after."

• "This was really useful and accessible and I will definitely come back for more."

• "Previously I felt meditation, when practised at home, was beneficial but I lacked discipline to do it each day. Now, thanks to the class and your words, I can see that it is not about a chore or an activity, and that the time to contemplate is therapeutic and yet difficult. But that is ok! I hope I can continue to meditate and thank you for the guidance. It has been and continues to be enjoyable."

• "I found the tips very useful such as, what to do when you have an itch/pain."

• "The strengths of the class were the introduction to a wide range of different meditative techniques, all thoroughly enjoyable in their own way. Great! See you soon!"
