Enjoy a focused, joyful, spiritually infused environment like no other.

Feel free to attend as many sessions as you like but we encourage a regular attendance to gain the most benefit.

Format: Introduction, period of meditation and discussion

£5 (first introductory visit free). Light dinner served afterwards £5.

 

 

Every Tuesday evening you can learn from an authentic transmission of Evolutionary Enlightenment, the newly emerging form of contemporary spirituality developed over 25 years by spiritual teacher, philosopher and cultural pioneer Andrew Cohen and his students.

What you can expect:

 

  • Learn how to practice meditation, the art and science of stillness, in order to access an unshakeable confidence in life.
  • Understand the profound difference between meditation for Enlightenment versus meditation to gain freedom from stress.
  • Learn why, in a world characterised by exponential change, a philosophical appreciation of the process of evolution is as important as spiritual experience.
  • Meet like-minded people who are interested in discovering and sharing the positivity of life and who want to participate in a cultural renaissance founded in meaning and purpose.

Programme

Living Your Deepest Realization

20 March

Evolutionary Enlightenment is about becoming an agent of evolution

When you realize that an inherent part of who you are is the evolutionary impulse, you awaken to a part of yourself that is ultimately positive.

27 March

The experience of letting go of everything

If we let go of everything, we discover the deepest part of
ourselves, which is primordial freedom.

3 April

Freedom from Karma

In traditional enlightenment, by letting go of everything we are liberated from our karma and all of its momentum.

10 April

A couple of significant spiritual breakthroughs are enough

Once the ultimate truth has been revealed to you, you must begin to act on it.

17 April

In defense of trying

Ultimately, spiritual aspiration is our most precious resource and it is making noble effort that builds spiritual aspiration.

24 April

No gap between our life and our realization

The non-difference between spirit and daily life.

1 May

The Value of Ego

The ego is valuable because it represents the capacity for individuation. But we have become too absorbed in our own individuation and that is now preventing higher development.

8 May

Speech is Action

Speech is an action, just like walking and making decisions are actions. In this light, we need to make sure we speak wisely because our speech transmits our interior convictions and beliefs.

15 May

There is no Time to be Unenlightened

Evolutionary Enlightenment is concerned about the quality of our responses in the present moment.

22 May

Holding the Outside-In Perspective

Evolutionary Enlightenment is a results-oriented teaching.

29 May

The Power of the Future

Spiritual self-confidence comes from abandoning any other option for the future except your own unconditional liberation for the sake of the evolution of consciousness, culture, and cosmos.
