Natural Awareness Study Group
Based on The Little Book of Being
with Diana Winston
Starts October 2024
This is a monthly study group for practitioners who wish to explore more deeply Natural Awareness and the techniques from Diana’s book, The Little Book of Being: Practices and Guidance for Uncovering your Natural Awareness. This book covers a Spectrum of Awareness Practices, from Focused Awareness to Natural Awareness, with an emphasis on Glimpse practices to access Natural Awareness in meditation and daily life. Natural Awareness is the open spacious, effortless end of the Spectrum, and can be thought of as awareness of awareness.
The study group is intended for people who wish to deepen their practice of Natural Awareness.
This six-month program will include the following:
- Monthly meeting with Diana to practice together, discuss themes, ask questions, and delve more deeply into Natural Awareness practice.
- Once a month shorter Check-In Session with Diana
- Optional peer-led weekly meditations and discussion groups
Note: During the month you will be expected to be seriously practicing with Natural Awareness.
