”MEDITATION IS YOUR NATURAL STATE – You must understand that meditation is your natural state and it occurs spontaneously when you prepare for practice. Preparing means performing certain rituals: posture, breathing, concentrating/focusing, mantra repetition, to name a few. Simply by performing these rituals, we allow meditation to emerge on its own”. – Andrea Boni
The theme of classes are following:
Thursday 25 of March
Class 1 – INNER & OUTER POSTURE
Meditation teaches us to re-establish intimacy with our own inner body and let it shine through the different layers of our experience in the here and now. This class will be devoted to establishing a steady and expanded meditation posture both in our physical body and in our own inner being, allowing our true motivation to spring forth
Class 2 – BE SIMPLE & EFFICIENT
Gentleness and Inner focus are two of the main ingredients to help our meditation practice grow with ease. This class will help you access the inner world with respect while strengthening your capacity to hold a steady focus for an extended period of time.

Class 3 – THE NATURAL INWARD FLOW OF CONSCIOUSNESS
In meditation we allow the state of our ordinary mind to merge into the natural state of clarity and pure consciousness. The texts of Vedanta speak of the physical body, our mind, and the other facets of our being as “sheaths” or “bodies”, superimposed over the subtle energy of consciousness as layers of an onion.In our meditation journey we actually move through these four layers. This class will teach you to journey through the layers of your inner geography to better savor the intricacies of the inner journey.
Class 4 – HOW TO DEAL WITH THE THOUGHT-STREAM
Thoughts are a problem when you don’t understand what they are and how to deal with them. The mind does not respond well to harshness. The practice of dealing with thoughts involves equal parts of rigor and subtlety, practice and understanding. This class will be devoted to spotting your mental and emotional tendencies, residues of habitual thoughts and feelings, and teach you how to release them into the inner field.
Saturday 27 of March
Class 5 – TROUBLESHOOTING THE MAIN CHALLEGES
Meditation is a perfect laboratory for confronting our obstacles and learning from them. Frustration, dullness, distraction, fatigue, restlessness plague us not only in meditation but also in our daily life. How can we deal with them and make a radical change in our practice? This session is dedicated to examining questions about meditation and using the practices as launching platforms for your inner exploration.
Class 6 – EXPLORING THE INNER HEART-FIELD
The ultimate goal of meditation is the full surfacing of what the Indian tradition calls “the effulgent Self” or “the Inner Heart”. Relishing in the gentle presence of the Heart teaches you to see the preciousness of your so-called ordinary life and be grateful for its abundant gifts. This class is intended to savor some of the most beautiful meditation practices of the Heart, as instructed in the Yoga and Tantra tradition.
Sunday 28 of March
Class 7 – KRAMA MARGĀ
There is current in meditation that will take you to meditation. If you sit long enough you will naturally glide into meditation because meditation is a natural state. What do you need to get yourself to sit there? Krama Margā is a 7 step meditation plan to teach you a fruitful practice. In this class we will go through the system and practice it together.
Class 8 – TEACH ME TO SOFTEN
Sometimes is too hard to soften into the challenge and simply face it. Personal effort is quite relevant but rigidity can turn out to be the number one obstacle.May we all be happy. May we all be free of suffering. May we all be healthy. May we all experience love. This class will be about learning how to settle into the practice with ease and trust. There is no rush. Just take your time to feel into it.
