Dear Integral Meditators,
“Sometimes we long for strength, but sometimes the very way in which we conceive that strength gets in the way of our finding it. How might it be if we tried to express the courage of gentleness sometimes in our life rather than ‘hard’ strength that is brittle and inflexible?”
Meditations on the dance of gentleness and courage mini-course
Date: Tuesday & Wednesday 28th & 29th July
This week’s Tuesday & Wednesday classes are a two session mini-course.
This course looks at ways of meditating that enable us to bring the qualities of gentleness and courage into a complementary dance together in our lives, in a way that encourages:
- How to discover your inner strength through gentleness
- How to become courageous in a way that uses your human vulnerability wisely
- Meet fear and uncertainty more effectively and find confidence in the face of challenges
- A way of relating to others and yourself that is strong and kind
There are three ways of participating in the course:
Option 1 – For free: Simply read Toby’s two articles on gentleness and courage:
Recognizing Three Types of Fear, Meditating on three Types of Courage
Mindfulness and gentleness – Three reflections
Option 2: Participate in the Tuesday & Wednesday class online for the complete course for SGD$50. If you can’t make the live sessions, you will be sent the recordings to listen to in your own time.
Option 3: Participate in either one or the other of the Tuesday or Wednesday online sessions for SGD$30
To book your place please contact Toby at info@tobyouvry.com.
In the spirit of gentle courage,
Toby

It mostly works directly and experientially with what is immediately present in our surroundings. It is one of the most ancient and primal forms of meditation around, and you can find elements of it in both the eastern and western traditions.
Below are a few ways in which you can start to practice environmental meditation…
