Free Introduction to Meditation
A 60-minute overview of the benefits of meditation and how to learn. Required before beginning the basic course in meditation.
Basic Meditation Course
The Basic Meditation Course is offered over four consecutive days with each session lasting approximately two hours.
In session one you learn the basic mechanics of how to meditate. By the end of the session you know the fundamentals of the technique and are able to practise on your own at home. Right from this first session the mind and body experience profound levels of rest and benefits are gained immediately.
Over the following three days the technique is refined and experiences are verified and validated. At the end of the course you have practical experience combined with theoretical understanding that allows you to be self-sufficient in your practice.
Weekly Group Meditations
Open to anyone trained in Vedic Meditation or transcendental meditation, these meetings take place on Monday evenings at 7pm. This is a good opportunity to enjoy meditating with others, to explore questions about your practice and to share experiences.
Advanced Meditation Techniques
Anyone who has been practising Vedic Meditation or transcendental meditation regularly for one year is eligible to receive training in advanced techniques. These techniques are designed to deepen the meditation experience and refine the senses of perception. This results in more deep, subtle and fascinating experiences inside and outside of meditation.
Yoga and Yogic Breathing
A simple series of yoga poses (asanas) and breathing (pranayama) greatly accelerate the benefits of meditation.
Weekend Meditation Retreats
A weekend residence course is a powerful opportunity for meditators to expand and deepen their practice.
Participants will learn a simple series of yoga poses and breathing exercises and these will be combined with multiple meditation sessions. This ‘industrial-strength’ programme releases deeply rooted stresses and fatigue and accelerates evolution toward higher states of consciousness.
The effects of a weekend retreat are comparable to meditating twice daily for several months.
Thank you for a fantastic weekend - really was best thing I have done in a long time! Your choice of venue and food, the schedule of activities and the teaching were all superb! ~Carina
I want to thank you for an amazing weekend. I have to say, it was nothing like I expected and has definitely brought me to a new space. I feel much more connected on the whole. ~Yvette
The rounding weekend at Voewood was a revelation. Not only did learning the breathing techniques and postures enhance my meditation experience quite radically, the time spent in interesting company, with delicious meals in lovely surroundings, left me feeling more rested than I have in years. I’d thoroughly recommend it to meditators at any level - I’m a novice, but felt completely at home among the veterans. An experience not to be missed. ~Jane

Exploring the Veda
This six-seminar course delves deeply into the ancient knowledge of India and draws out life changing pearls of wisdom. Students learn techniques for deepening meditation, for correcting the mistakes of the mind and heart, and for manifesting the life experiences that reveal true fulfillment.
The Veda is the ancient record of spiritual experience that is the source of the arts and sciences of Ayurvedic medicine, yoga, meditation and the whole of Indian philosophy. Knowledge of the Veda is said to confer mastery of all the laws of nature because the Veda is structured as universal knowledge available within everyone’s consciousness - it is the blueprint of creation.
The course is held on evenings and weekends in six seminars spread over 12-14 months.
