- Each session has a different theme and skills set which will be introduced at the beginning of the session;
- There will be an opportunity to share your experience of the previous week’s meditation in pairs and with the group. This feedback will be followed by a taught element.

Each session will end with a short group discussion and instruction for the coming week’s personal practice.
