Meditation
The method is taught periodically, on a one-to-one basis in accordance with the tradition of HH Shantanand Saraswati.
There are opportunities to meditate with others, prior to discussion group meetings and at “Strathean”.

Anyone using a silent method of meditation is welcome to join meetings for meditators.

INQUIRIES about learning meditation or meditation meetings, please telephone during evenings Jim Shaw Ph 04 972 9995.

Turning
An entirely different approach to inner stillness is offered in a physical way through the “Dervish Turning” tradition. This is practised regularly following the authentic form originating in Turkey within the Mevlevi order of Dervishes founded by Jallaluddin Rumi in the thirteenth century. People are welcome to watch the turning ceremony

Although derived from a Sufi environment, it is available to anyone regardless of religion or background.

Newcomers can learn how to “turn” in class groups that are held from time to time. INQUIRIES about watching the turning ceremony or about learning, please telephone during evenings Kieron (04 972 4674).
