This class brought me to the realization that meditation is really very simple and accessible. I'm not saying it's easy, but Ian's reminders of the temporal nature of intrusions was helpful and his gentle voice supported me throughout.

I have meditated in various ways for some years. Doing Ian’s course brought me back to basics and guided me with tools to anchor the meditation process while adding meaning and depth through the addition of metta meditation. I will continue to use this course as a way to ground my practice. Great course for beginners and regular meditators.
