Through this course you will gain a deeper understanding of the essential foundations of the practice and the process of meditation. You'll learn what meditation is, how and why it works in a very simple, practical and tangible way so you confidently navigate the various challenges and questions that can come up along your journey.

Meet your Teacher
Ben is a meditation and mindfulness teacher, nature lover, curious and heart centered human being with a vision – the Peacekeeper Project - helping to create a more peaceful and connected world by helping people quiet their busy mind, so they can live from the Heart. He believes stillness is an essential life skill for navigating this busy modern world grounded in peace, connection and heart. Ben has always had a deep sense of curiosity and an aspiration to understand the nature of things like the mind, consciousness, nature, life, and the mysteries that existed beyond our “normal” perception. Since 1999 this led him on a journey into many fields of study and self inquiry, from massage, movement training and a variety of healing modalities to exploring consciousness through meditation and meditation based therapies, mindfulness, inner alchemy and yoga. Since 2001 meditation and self exploration has been the foundation of his continued inner growth. Ben teaches and shares from his own deep personal experience.
