WHAT YOU'RE WORKING TOWARDS
A practice for
the life you actually live.
Spend less of life somewhere else
Train the ability to return to what is happening, rather than following every worry or distraction.
Enjoy what is already good
Notice a conversation, a piece of music or the afternoon light, and give pleasant moments room to land.
COULD THIS SUIT YOU?
You can start
where you are.
You want flexibility: seated meditation, brief practices and skills you can use with your eyes open in activity. You can start as a beginner or build on a Vedic practice.
You don't need to be “the meditating type”. Bring your questions, and we can work out a starting point together.
WHAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY DO
Simple to begin.
With someone to guide you.
You learn to notice sensory experience - what you see, hear and feel - with more clarity and less struggle. The course includes formal seated practice and ways to bring the skills into daily life. Brief moments can be a starting point; longer practice is available too.
PRACTICE GROUNDED IN RESEARCH
Skills for your mind.
Support for your wellbeing.
Mindfulness is a research-supported approach to mental wellbeing. Studies of mindfulness programmes show benefits for anxiety and mood, and research also supports improved sleep quality compared with general education or other nonspecific approaches.
For you, the purpose is everyday life: more ease, more presence and a practice that supports how you feel and live.
Benefits and experiences vary from person to person.

Let's clear
a few things up.
Is mindfulness only done with eyes open?
No. It can be practised seated, with eyes open or closed as appropriate, and during everyday activity.
Do short practices count?
Brief moments give you a way to begin and use the skills during your day. You can also practise for a few minutes or longer.
Can I do this and Vedic meditation?
Yes. They support each other. Rich uses both, and can help you decide where to begin or how to combine them.
