Expansion and Stillness
21st - 24th November 2025
with Sophie Johnson
Is stillness empty? What is it? When in our practice we can move beyond the activity of the thinking mind, is this a void? Or perhaps a space full of energy, potential, joy?
We will explore all of this, find out and question our assumptions around meditation and stillness. Each meditative pathway has its own teachings regarding the ending of the attachment to the Self.
Nei Gong Evening Classes with Sophie
These will be on most Wednesday evenings at 6.30pm.
There is also a regular Meditation 6:30am on Mondays.
