• Community
  Training with Heart Space brings you into a vibrant, thriving community. St Stan Kennedy once said that "Meditation is an uniquely solitary activity best practised in community". Communal practice is essential for continual growth on the path and really makes practice joyful. We offer weekly online community meditation and monthly in person sessions, together with frequent retreats and practice days throughout the year. Practising in this way allows you to blend and weave your practice around the seasons in a grounded and practical way.
   

• Continual Personal Development
  Our training begins with the 8 week Mindfulness Based Living Course (MBLC). This gives a wonderful foundation in Mindfulness and leads the way into the 8 week Compassion Based Living Course (CBLC) which focuses on developing the quality of Compassion. The Mindfulness Training pathway continues with Insight and Wisdom
