Samatha without boundaries
If you are interested in learning Samatha Meditation online there are currently two options:
1 - A 30-week website-based course, which runs from early October to June, though while it is preferable to start then, it is also possible to join later. With written and audio material, it leads you through the stages of Samatha and introduces aspects of theory that are helpful in guiding the practice. Also includes weekly one-to-one feedback on your practice: https://www.samatha.org/what-we-offer/classes/online-course No need to be online at any specific time during the week, other than for the one-to-one discussion, though there is the option of also being in a weekly Zoom class that runs Thursdays at 7.30pm. To find out more, including how to register for the course, contact the course leader, Peter Harvey: b.peter.harvey@gmail.com
