At Open Path we offer teaching courses and practice sessions throughout the year that generally coincide with school terms.
The venue for all teaching, unless otherwise stated, is the Open Path Teaching Space at 21 Marine Parade, Shoreham.
Short break
We will be having a break from teaching whilst Tarchin Hearn is teaching in Shoreham and during the period of the 9-day retreat with him. We will commence teaching again on the 30th May. Further details of what we will be doing will be posted as soon as possible. The next two sessions of movement meditation are listed below.
Movement meditation
Movement meditation is suitable for both novices and more experienced meditators. These gentle meditative body movements, carried out with great awareness, are a valuable tool for the development of mindfulness and for enabling deep body healing, the key to our own holistic wellbeing. All of life’s experiences are stored in our bodies and held by habitual body patternings including hopes, joys, emotions and physical tensions and traumas. Through these gentle practices we can safely let go of body tensions and experience deep tranquility, a tangible sense of wellbeing, confidence, clarity, grace, centredness and easefulness in life.
Movement meditation can be a valuable tool not only those interested in meditative explorations but for all those who experience stress and/or anxiety in their lives.

Dana
Dana (donation or gift) is a traditional form of generosity and reflects the flow of blessings between beings, both giving and receiving. Dana is the practice of cultivating generosity and your donation or gift should be within your own means and a reflection of how you value the teaching offered. It should be remembered that the teaching (or dharma) is available to everyone regardless of means and if you are able to give generously this will support not only the teaching but those who are not in a position to be so generous. The practice of generosity is a central practice within the Buddhist tradition. There are times when dana can also be a non-monetary gift.
