Two and a half hours,
in five movements
A small guided meditation gathering inspired by Oshoโs techniques, with silent sitting, Buddhist chanting, oil lamps and a compassion practice. Open to all experience levels โ and to complete sceptics, who tend to do rather well here.
What actually happens
The order matters more than any individual method. Catharsis makes silence possible; silence makes the chanting land; the circle at the end makes it a community rather than a room full of strangers.
Eleven doors into the same room
Each Saturday centres on one of these. They are techniques, not teachings โ precise sequences of stages, most of them with music written for them. You are never asked to accept anything about them; you just do them and see what happens.
Where to start
Never meditated at all
A Kundalini evening. Shaking, dancing, stillness, lying down โ nothing you have not already done as a child, and the gentlest way in.
Carrying a heavy week
Gibberish & Let-Go. Absurd for four minutes, then something gives way. People sleep unusually well afterwards.
You already sit
Nadabrahma or an evening of silence. The humming does something to a settled mind that sitting alone rarely reaches.
You want the celebration
Nataraj, or any full-moon Saturday. Dance until the dancer is gone, then lie on the floor and let it land.
Bring, wear, expect
- WearLoose clothes you can shake, sweat and lie down in, plus a warm layer for the sitting.
- FeetBare or socks indoors. Shoes stay at the door.
- EatLightly, and not for two or three hours beforehand.
- BringA water bottle. Everything else โ mats, cushions, chairs, blindfolds, tea โ is here.
- PhonesOff and in your bag for the whole evening. It is a large part of why it works.
- IncenseLit at the start. Tell us when you register if you are sensitive and we will reduce or skip it.
Come and try one
Reading about an active meditation is a bit like reading about swimming. Two and a half hours will tell you more than this whole page.
