Relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

Experienced meditators welcome.
No religious belief expected or imposed.
A space to explore your relationship with yourself.

WHAT DO YOU TEACH?
My approach is based on body awareness and relaxation: using the breath as a way of cultivating presence and opening to effortless awareness, relaxation and vitality.
The focus of the class is to bring attention into the body and to relax through letting go of the effort to attain a preconceived result.

OUTeverywhere member organiser
This event has been added to the OUTeverywhere calendar by Nick K from New Cross in the London area.
I teach a meditation group for gay men in London. I lived for six years as a Buddhist monk and now live in London. I'm looking at ways of going into businesses to teach meditation - 'stress busting'. Let me know if you are interested! In my social life I like to relax with friends and explore spiritual teachings. I'm not heavily into the scene so more likely to goto the theatre or park.
