This training will be divided into two parts:

Part 1: Introduction to Meditation
Saturday, 16 September ~ 9:00 am – 1:00 pm (with lunch break from 1:00 pm to 2:30 pm)

In this first part we will cover the basic principles of meditation, as true experience, understanding and personal practice are essential to teach younger people. We will teach what meditation is in essence and different techniques for participants to feel the effects and which modality they most identify with.
