Four people meditating

This programme, taking place every Thursday from 5-6pm, is for all students who would like to begin exploring or continue improving their skills of awareness in relating with all of life experience while studying at University.

The sessions involve a meditative practice. It is spiritual, though not aligned with any faith tradition. This is fully explained, then through a guided introduction we spend a period of time in silence during which ideas and imagery may form, with a range of relevance to the focus. We gently return to the group, share observations and ask any questions that arise. Each week has a particular theme.

On registration, you will also have access to an online group chat for discussing preparation and sharing resources.

The programme is run by Yusuf Kaplan, Interfaith Adviser, who has practised meditation since childhood. He has provided spiritual advice, supervision and training in a professional capacity for many years to a range of clients as individuals and groups. Also, with an eclectic background he is very capable facilitating others in creative application and passing through unconscious resistances to a new sense of awareness.

The sessions are delivered online via Teams, with the option to also join in person on campus. Please note that the video is required to join the sessions online.

One to one sessions can also be offered for those who cannot join the above dates or times. 

To register, please email Yusuf Kaplan via [email protected].
