The Ground of Luminosity

Six sessions (90 min. per session) once per week and two live Q&A sessions (60 min. per session) for personal guidance throughout the course. Each session is a complete experience — preparation of the body and energy, breathing, teaching, extended silence, integration, and more.

Session 1 — What Nobody Taught Us (90 min.)

There is something essential about being human that we were never shown — something that was always here but remained hidden beneath everything we were taught to pursue. Discovering it changes everything about why we sit, what we are looking for, and what this practice is truly about. This session sets the orientation for the entire path ahead.

Session 2 — Why We Need to Meditate and Sit — A Deep Approach (90 min.)

Beyond stress relief, relaxation, and calm, there is an unconventional and much deeper reason why sitting matters — one that addresses the root of the human condition, not its symptoms. We begin learning how to prepare the body and energy properly so the practice can take hold. What we establish here becomes the physical foundation we return to in every session.

Session 3 — Everything We Think Meditation Is — and Is Not (90 min.)

Most of what we have been told about meditation keeps us circling the surface — chasing states, managing thoughts, measuring progress. Clearing these misconceptions is not a small thing. It opens the door to genuine stillness and changes how we approach every session from here on. Some of what we uncover here may challenge what we thought we already knew.

+ Live Q&A 1 — Midpoint (60 min.)

After three sessions of sitting and learning together, we pause to address what has arisen — questions, doubts, difficulties, and what is beginning to settle in the practice. Personal guidance in a shared space. A chance to be heard and to hear what others are discovering.

Session 4 — The Radiance of Silence and Presence We Have Been Looking For (90 min.)

When the preparation is complete and the misconceptions have been cleared, something reveals itself in the silence — not as an experience we create or a state we achieve, but as a presence that was always here, waiting for us to stop adding to it. This session is where the practice begins to reveal its true depth.

Session 5 — Meditation Becomes Liberated into Everything Perceived (90 min.)

The gap between what happens on the cushion and how we live begins to close. Stillness is no longer something we leave behind when we stand up — it begins to meet the world, our relationships, our daily activity, without effort. What was found in silence starts to live in everything.

Session 6 — The All Letting Go (90 min.)

Releasing the need to do it right, the judgment, the grasping, the measuring — and discovering that freedom was already within the foundation itself. The ground we have been building reveals what it was holding all along. This is not an ending — it is the beginning of everything that follows.

+ Live Q&A 2 — Closing Gathering (60 min.)

The final meeting. Reflections on the ground that has been established, personal guidance, what comes next on the path, and gratitude for the shared commitment over these six weeks. We close the course together the same way we began — sitting in the same space.
