These 40-minute sessions - a 30-minute meditation with 5 minutes either side - offer you a space to connect through meditation guided by wise and supportive Sharpham Trust teachers and volunteer coordinators.

Retreats at Home

During this online sit, you'll get:

  • a weekly moment to pause and sit together
  • the opportunity to be part of a supportive group of fellow meditators
  • meditation led by Sharpham Trust teachers and Barn coordinators

Who is this for?

This online sit is for people with all types of meditation experience, from beginner to experienced - anyone who would like to connect with their practice in the supportive company of others.

To get the most out of this session you will need a room or place in your home where you will not be distracted by other people or sounds.

To join you will need to be fully available for the duration of the session, helping to create a greater sense of group coherence with less distraction for your fellow meditators.

Session recordings

Many of you have asked us to record and share these meditations, so our sessions will be recorded, edited by The Sharpham Trust and put online for people to access, accessible here: www.sharphamtrust.org/resources

We're only recording audio, not video, and any post-meditation discussion will be edited out and will not be used.

Your participation in the session is taken as consent for us to do this.

Schedule

The session will begin at 7pm on Tuesdays. Please be prompt.

Each session will incorporate a 30-minute sit, with enough time on either side to settle in.

Reviews

The online meditation I attended was well organised, with an excellent balance of varied meditations and chances to talk. Lots to think about afterwards. Would recommend wholeheartedly
