In Association with the Temenos Academy

Led by Sir Nicholas Pearson, this group will meet monthly with the aim of helping people build a regular stillness and awareness practice. Drawing upon his psychotherapeutic work over 25 years with clients whose over-riding need is to calm and centre themselves, these sessions will aim to still the busy and often over-active mind in order to move consciousness from the head to refuge and rest in the heart. Informed by a range of spiritual traditions, the meditative techniques used during this course will include group silence, gentle humming practices, and inner visual contact with the central archetype of the Child.

Sir Nicholas Pearson was born in India and spent his first half-century in the Army, in politics and in international business. This period ended for him abruptly in a catastrophic car crash which ushered in a total re-orientation of his life. Eventually training as a counsellor aged 60, he explored the nature and creative power of working with the imagination in mental and physical disorders. He is a Fellow of the Academy, having served as its chairman for twelve years, and runs a busy psychotherapeutic practice from Kensington where he lives with his wife.
