The benefits of Looking Deeply are to ground ourselves more fully in Thay’s teachings, giving deep, strong roots to our peace and contentment.

We can do this most beneficially as a Sangha, a group of people coming together to practise and support one another on the journey.

Looking Deeply develops the themes and learnings from Be Calm Be Happy and takes us deeper into Thay’s teachings, exploring topics of helping us to become more aware of our ’territory’, which is – body, feelings, mind, and consciousness. Together we will discover how to develop our mindfulness further into our experiences and life.

What to expect 

The course is held online via zoom, enabling you to participate from wherever you are geographically based.

In each session we will 

  • meditate together
  • consider a topic relating to the weekly theme
  • undertake a short reflection exercise to help us look at how this is relevant to my life
  • have time for feedback and discussion. 

We will recommend meditations from the Plum Village App for you to use during the week. If you do not already use it, you can access it here plumvillage.app

You will get most out of this course by making the time to regularly practise the meditations and reflecting on the weekly theme to deepen your mindfulness during the week between each session. The Plum Village App will be a very valuable resource to support your practices.

Themes for the sessions

  1. Arriving Home
  2. Mindfulness of the Body
  3. Mindfulness of Feelings
  4. Mindfulness of the Mind
  5. Impermanence
  6. Connectedness
