Introduction to Meditation Weekend Urban Retreats for Men in London and Manchester.

Scientists are increasingly discovering the benefits of the ancient practice of meditation. The trouble is most meditation teachers push a religious agenda. Furthermore, introductory weekends are often located in inaccessible parts of the country. You may also be expected to share uncomfortable dormitories, and vegetarian food is usually compulsory! I offer something different.

Accommodation in top hotels with your own room for your sole occupancy.

Meditation taught without a religious agenda and a scientific twist.

Sessions held in a comfortable conferencing venue.

First class vegetarian and non-vegetarian food prepared by top chefs.

Spar facilities to help you unwind totally.

But why learn meditation? Well the benefits are impressive.

Reduce your stress levels.
Improve your mental health.
Reduce your blood pressure.
Grow the ‘happiness centres’ of your brain.
Gain perspective and meaning in life.
Understand your mind better.
Stop your negative thinking.
Improve your spontaneity and creativity.
Build your concentration.
Help you to manage chronic pain.
Build your self confidence.

All this and more can be achieved by learning some simple meditation techniques.

I offer two residential weekend courses in top hotels.

Meditation for the Mind.

Learn how to calm and tame your mind, reduce your stress, gain perspective and improve your happiness and contentment with life.

On this course you will learn two meditation techniques. Find a posture thats right for you. Overcome common obstacles to meditation. Learn in a friendly and supportive space.

This course will help you to safely start a meditation practice.

(Suitable for complete beginners to meditation.)

Meditation for the Heart.

Learn how to literally build positive emotion into your life and transform negative emotion. As a result you will be better equipped to build and strengthen relationships at work, at play and with yourself.

This course will help you to deepen your meditation practice by teaching two new meditation practices that promise insight and greater compassion for yourself and others. You will learn in a friendly and supportive space and have a chance to explore your experiences of meditation with others.

(You need to have attended Meditation for the Mind, and have practiced the techniques for 3 months, before attending the Meditation for the Heart course.)

Why a men only group? Well I am a men’s psychotherapist, and the truth is that men learn best without the distraction and competition women introduce into a group. Many men also feel safer talking to other men.

I currently run groups in Manchester at the 4 Star McDonald Hotel and Spa, and in London at the 5 Star Royal Garden Hotel. I run courses on an ‘on demand’ basis. The cost is only £695, a wise investment in techniques that can literally change your life. Courses run over a weekend from 6pm on the Friday to 3pm on the Sunday.

I look forward to hearing from you.
