In today’s hectic world, our busy lives often crowd out any chance to sit still. Who has time to focus on mindfulness when there are 40 emails to write? Join Buddhist teacher David Nichtern for an introduction to meditation. David will show you how meditating for just 15-30 minutes a day will clarify your mind and decrease your stress levels.

David will teach you the basics of meditation, unpacking the centuries-old spiritual tradition into a practical playbook for living a balanced life. You will learn simple posture, breathing, and directed contemplation techniques that will help you unclutter your mind and increase your energy.

Stillness is a powerful way to be kind to yourself. At the end of this workshop, you will be more present, aware, and connected to the world around you.

    David is the best! I recommend this 100%! Also if you haven't watch it yet, give "Midnight gospel" a try. You will be very surprised to see David playing as himself.

    Also found this through the DTFH podcast. What a wonderful, powerful, and approachable course in meditation. Highly recommended to anyone interested in starting on this path. It's chock full of practical information and ways to apply meditation to your life.

    I first heard of David on the Duncan Trussell Family Hour Podcast and I'm happy to have found this class! A very grounded approach to the topic of mindful meditation and lots of great information is packed in here. Despite it being from 2013, the information and David's approach is timeless!

    At first I thought he was low energy and suspected I would not get much out of it. But I was wrong. He is brilliant, effective and an exceptional teacher. The intellectual rationale of meditation was really well explained. Superb!

    I've tried to develop a meditation practice in the past and signed up for this course because of the title ..'everyday life' This course works!! I'd like to thank David and the Creative Live crew for providing a life enhancing course. At first I was a little impatient as I thought the sessions were long, drawn out and repetitive however, half way through it 'clicks' (it made sense) and what may seem as a long-winded preamble is in fact laying a firm foundation for understanding and progression. Hastily wanting to skip to some perceived 'good bit that helps hedge fund mangers etc ' is like sprinting to the end of the rainbow instead of appreciating the various colours. (Your own perceptual colours even ;-)) Anyway, a worthwhile course - so stay the course and feel better for fit

    I just bought this class. I have tried meditation a few times but never connected properly in the past. Maybe I am ready now or maybe David Nichtern is really good. Either way it is working for me. He has a very relaxed way about him. I have found myself thinking "come on, get on with it, get to the point". But then I realise that the problem is with me. I am still thinking about the destination rather than the journey.

    This is a really powerful course. I didn't have any background or experience with meditation and this time with David Nichtern was really special. I learned so much. Thank you for bringing him to us!

    It has been 15 months since I participated in the live class. My life and consciousness has been infused wit new growth and daily reconnection to the present moment. I have not once felt the same after my sit as I did before sitting. His course, his ambiance made sitting through the 3 days easy, enjoyable and natural. Thank you David. I am now moving others to understanding the nourishment that is meditation.
