Being Now

Zen Meditation and Mindfulness Coaching for Wellbeing and Insight Being Now runs a number of different course and workshops based on meditations from the Rinzai lineage of Zen Buddhism. There are two 8wk courses. One for Wellbeing where we look at stress, emotional and physical pain etc. Whilst the mediations taught are Zen in origin, this is a secular course with no religious connotations and it meshes well with everyday life. The second course is for Insight. Here we draw on Zen Buddhism with a view to gaining understanding of reality and our true nature. The focus is on experiencing Kensho, an awakening that lifts the veil on our true nature and is the first step on our path to achieving Satori or enlightenment. In addition to these course there are also occasional weekend workshops and a weekly meditation meeting. David Mokuren Slater was trained by Julian Daizan Skinner Roshi of Zenways, the first British person to become a Zen Master in the Rinzai tradition of Zen Buddhism. He continues to be a student of Zen under Daizan Roshi and is working towards becoming a Zen teacher in the fullness of time
