* Monthly Online TM Courses

All my courses online since April 2020. No plans to do “in person” for the foreseeable, but trust me teaching people from across the UK & around the world online, works beautifully. If you know anyone wishing to learn T.M, get in touch. Also learning to meditate makes a lovely present and I have gift vouchers.

They make a difference.You are very welcome to attend the equivalent one/s to the one/s you missed on a new course, get in touch to book a place. Free if I taught you or £90 for any or all 3 of the group meetings. For upcoming dates see: https://www.twentyminutesmeditation.co.uk/tm-online-courses/

Meditation Experiences?

Its always great hearing from people, if you have any meditation experiences, tips or beneficial effects you’ve noticed it would be lovely to share them no matter how small. I would then post them on the Website Blog etc. If ok with just your first name and town you live. Send em in!

These are often really helpful to others regarding their own experience of meditation and also to people considering learning TM. Believe it or not there is still a lot of misunderstanding about Transcendental Meditation, most people would love to meditate, but think they can’t because “you have to concentrate and empty your mind – and I have a very busy mind!!!”

Everyone needs a break.

Phew – never more true! The emphasis of these weekends is deep rest & revitalisation, enabling you to gain a clearer experience & understanding of Transcendental Meditation. They are open to anyone who has learnt T.M, regardless of whether you are practising regularly or not. Many people use the weekend to re-establish a meditation routine.

Starting Friday evening and finishing Monday after breakfast, the weekend includes extra meditation (in the group or separate as you prefer) with optional simple yoga postures, plus group meetings and discussion. The whole thing is very informal and there is plenty of time to enjoy the company of meditator’s from across the country over lovely meals and leisurely walks.

A much loved spot, Nether Grange is a pretty special venue. We’ve been running TM weekends here in Alnmouth for nearly 30 years. Located in this beautiful seaside village within the Northumberland Coastal Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty it’s just a minutes walk onto the beach. The perfect place to rest & revitalise, yet only 45 minutes drive north of Newcastle upon Tyne and a two minute drive from the local railway station on the East coast main line between London Kings Cross and Edinburgh.
