Only through our connectedness to others can we really know and enhance the self. And only through working on the self can we begin to enhance our connectedness to others - Harriet Goldhor Lerner
Retreats at Home

During this online sit, you'll get:

  • a moment to pause from your everyday life
  • the opportunity to be part of a supportive group of fellow meditators
  • meditation led by experienced Sharpham Trust teachers and retreat coordinators

Who is this for?

This online sit is for people with all types of meditation experience, from beginner to experienced - anyone who would like to connect with their practice in the supportive company of others.

To get the most out of this session you will need a room or place in your home where you will not be distracted by other people or sounds.

To join you will need to be fully available for the duration of the session, helping to create a greater sense of group coherence with less distraction for your fellow meditators.

Session recordings

Many of you have asked us to record and share these meditations, so our sessions will be recorded, edited by The Sharpham Trust and put online for people to access, accessible here: www.sharphamtrust.org/resources

We're only recording audio, not video, and any post-meditation discussion will be edited out and will not be used.

Your participation in the session is taken as consent for us to do this.

Schedule

The session will begin at 7pm on Tuesdays. Please be prompt.

Each session will incorporate a 30-minute sit, with enough time on either side to settle in.

Reviews

The online meditation I attended was well organised, with an excellent balance of varied meditations and chances to talk. Lots to think about afterwards. Would recommend wholeheartedly
