New Course
The
Inner Silence of the Heart:
A Series of Guided Meditation Sessions
Starting Wednesday 18 February 2026
Led by Sir Nicholas Pearson, in association with the Temenos Academy,
this group will meet monthly with the aim of helping people build a
regular stillness and awareness practice. Drawing upon his psychotherapeutic
work over 25 years with clients whose over-riding need is to calm and
centre themselves, these sessions will aim to still the busy and often
over-active mind in order to move consciousness from the head to refuge
and rest in the heart. Informed by a range of spiritual traditions,
the meditative techniques used during this course will include group
silence, gentle humming practices, and inner visual contact with the
central archetype of the Child.
Sir Nicholas Pearson was born in India and spent his first half-century
in the Army, in politics and in international business. This period
ended for him abruptly in a catastrophic car crash which ushered in
a total re-orientation of his life. Eventually training as a counsellor
aged 60, he explored the nature and creative power of working with the
imagination in mental and physical disorders. He is a Fellow of the
Academy, having served as its chairman for twelve years, and runs a
busy psychotherapeutic practice from Kensington where he lives with
his wife.
