*Introduction to Insight Meditation
with Louise Taylor

Introduction to insight meditation - an 8 week course. 

Beginning Thursday 5th of May 6pm - 7pm.

Insight meditation is the process of training the mind to pay attention to the present moment.

Through its development and regular practice, meditation can greatly reduce stress, anxiety, anger and confusion while increasing concentration, sleep quality, energy, happiness and connection with others.

This 8 week introductory course will explore different techniques of meditation, introduce the four foundations of mindfulness, introduce metta (loving kindness) practice and provide support on developing a daily practice.

Each session will include some theory that will build on the previous week's knowledge, meditation exercises with time for discussion, feedback and questions and a formal guided meditation of 15-20 minutes.

Louise Taylor is a practitioner with over 20 years experience. She began teaching over 3 years ago and has completed the 2 year Mindfulness and Compassion teacher training program through Insight Meditation Institute. 

Her primary teachers are Patrick Kearney and Subhana Barzaghi. Subhana is currently mentoring Louise through the Institute’s Dharma Teacher Pathway. Her practice and teaching style are most influenced by the Mahasi tradition.

This course is suitable to anyone who is interested in meditation, no experience necessary.
