Meditation within the Wisdom Traditions

This 8-week course offers participants the opportunity to experience meditation as a spiritual practice. It will be largely experiential rather than academic. It will draw from the well not only of Buddhism, but also from a range of Wisdom traditions including mystical Christianity and Hinduism in addition to the Judaic and Sufi and Taoist traditions. The course will explore what they have to say about the human experience from a spiritual perspective.

Each session will be a mix of gentle guided meditation practice, short inputs from the teacher with some background information about the wisdom tradition for that week as well as some group activities. No previous experience of meditation is necessary but a commitment to regular practice during the course is recommended. The course welcomes people of all faiths and none who are curious about the many sources of spiritual wisdom found across the wisdom traditions.
