About The 7 Steps to Connection Training in 2024

Hi everyone,

The 7 Steps to Connection is a collection of seven key practices I've learned from teaching mindfulness, meditation, and resilience over the past ten years. These practices create the greatest benefit in return for the least time and effort. This is important because it's a crazy world which could be designed to take up all our time and energy.

The Problem with Traditional Meditation

Traditionally, meditation has been taught by telling students that they need to find thirty minutes every morning to sit down and meditate, and some people can do that. The fact is nobody can do it all the time. Some people are overwhelmed, others have no time, or the demands from others on their time and energy are too great that it tramples over their ability to maintain this traditional practice. The traditional ways of practising meditation originate in monasteries in the East, where there is an expectation that meditators will dedicate much of their life to meditation or religious practice.

Meditation Practice for Modern Lives

In the crazy modern world, however, we need to learn practices that fit into our lives and from which we can gain tangible benefits. We need to experience benefits within weeks, not years.

I will teach one of these practices every week up until Christmas 2024. We're currently in week two. The week one practice was The Three Good Things, a short, quick, simple and easy daily or daily-ish gratitude journaling practice. I'm running this training in The Meditation Course, our online group-guided meditation training course. It's easy to join. There's no commitment. You can easily cancel at any point. The first month is free, and the cost is the same as buying a weekly Starbucks latte.

What to Expect

I teach a new practice weekly in the 10am class on Saturdays. We also run a group chat that meets just before the Sunday evening Zoom meditation class to discuss our progress with the practices we've learned and to feed back some support and insights. Things like sharing creative ways to integrate the practices. Feel free to join us, and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me.

with gratitude,

Robert
