Through meditation our capacity to be compassionately present for our immediate experience grows. It enables us to be open to, and tenderly hold the most difficult parts of ourselves. It deepens and enriches our experience of life and also results in a spaciousness that enables us to respond creatively in situations we would otherwise react automatically from old conditioned patterns.

Jeremy is a warm and grounded teacher with great capacity to help us find the wisdom to work in daily life. His June retreats are a regular and popular event for beginners and experienced practitioners alike.
