What is the Program Content?
A gentle mix of meditation and contemplation; the theory and guided practice
Meditation
A gentle blend of meditation theory and practice will be woven throughout the program; providing the opportunity to learn more, practice together, and experience the deep natural peace, the heightened awareness, and the clarity that only meditation can bring.
Contemplation
Then with the contemplation; we begin with critical thinking skills; so important in this age of information overload, distorted facts and biased opinions. We delve into the different types of logic and how to use them to good effect; we explore the differences between insight and intuition and learn how to access them both reliably.
Next, how to connect with our own inner wisdom? We explore the age-old quest for truth… What is truth? How do we know who or what to believe? Relative truth? Absolute truth? Is there even such a thing as an absolute truth, and if so, how can it be accessed?
Then finally, we put all this together. A more authentic person? More able to embody the ideas and truths you hold to? By using the techniques we have studied and practised throughout this course, we arrive at a place of mental clarity, ease of decision making, confidence in our choices and a heightened capacity to live the person we want to be.
Is This a Good Fit?
For whom will these trainings be suitable?
This program will be readily accessible. It has been designed for those new to meditation and contemplation, as well as those more experienced who are looking to reconnect and dive deeper into these transformative domains.
This program has been designed by, and will be presented by Ian Gawler

Ian Gawler’s Meditation App – allevi8
When it comes to meditation, it is regular, daily practice that leads to therapeutic benefits
For many this is the challenge – how to develop and sustain that regular practice?
Global evidence supports the idea that the combination of online mentoring with an app provides the best motivation for daily practice.
Ian Gawler, along with his colleague Saurabh Mishra, have developed this particular App, to bring together the best therapeutic meditation-based techniques, along with expert meditation teachers/mentors.
The result is Allevi8…
