Monthly Deep Rest Membership
Find Your Calm:
Weekly Deep Rest Sessions
James has spent nearly twenty years devoted to practising, teaching, writing about and living the path of Yoga Nidra and deep rest. Join him – and a community of warm, welcoming, curious, sometimes irreverent and always compassionate rest enthusiasts – in his monthly membership offering.
Whether you join live or via the extensive library, this is your invitation to uncover your own unique pathway to the heart of meditation – and to a life lived from a place of unconditional wholeness, curiosity and trust, come what may.
New themes in 2024, include:
Being Human - Explore themes that will help you feel at ease with the mess of life, and how letting go of perfectionism and striving can be the key to unlocking a deep feeling of well-being.
Inner Seeing - Awaken your subconscious mind and the dream-like images that are resting just below the surface. Commune more deeply with your inner world.
Safe In An Unsafe World - establish a firm sense of safety and security within yourself, not as a barrier to the world but as a way to unlock the ability to be in the world and yet remain calm, clear, and secure within.
Inner Contentment - Our inner contentment is always there, waiting to be remembered. All that’s needed is to stop, get curious, and explore what’s already at ease within. Recover your calm, compassionate self!
WHAT MEMBERS ARE SAYING:
“Just a quick note to say I am so much enjoying the weekly sessions on Tuesdays. By taking this precious time to deeply rest, I can simply be me more easily. Just being me, that's such a relief! It makes life easier…..”
***
“Through your Tuesday night group, I am finding a real sense of community and can feel the deep benefit of connecting with myself as well as allowing myself to be seen authentically by others. You and the group create a really safe space where I feel I can start to open, like a flower or young plant tentatively opening to the sun.”
***
“I don’t think I could have allowed myself to rest in this way if it wasn’t for your wise and gentle guidance”
Welcome Home To Your Self
Deep Rest isn’t just about exploring and experiencing the yumminess of your own quiet calm, it’s also about embracing your whole self, about ending the struggle with who you are and what you need, to be at ease amidst life. It’s about finding deep compassion for yourself, in this moment, and welcoming your vulnerabilities as wise messengers. It’s a heartfelt experience of radical self-acceptance and realising that the one thing you’ve been searching for all this time is right here, within you, if you’d only stop searching. These sessions are heartfelt, warm, funny, and tender in equal measure. You’ll find a sense of belonging here, both to yourself and to a lovely, intimate group who are seeking just what you are - to feel deeply rested and at ease within themselves.

You don’t need to attend live as all the resources will be accessible in the user area, but if you can make it, we’d love to see you there!
“Just wanted to drop a quick line to let you know I’m very much enjoying the weekly gatherings. It’s refreshed my practice, and it feels good to be part of a community. The Tuesday evenings have already become an anchor point in my week.”

Join live, or use this as a one-stop library service for all your rest needs
If you don’t have the time to join us live each week or being in groups isn’t your thing, you can use this resource as a one-stop library service for all your rest needs. You’ll find, and be able to download and keep for life, a selection of practices that address key challenges to finding deep and lasting rest in your life.
I’ve poured my love, attention, and 20-plus years of exploring, refining, and teaching rest to tens of thousands of people into this one focused resource.
There are talks, practices, and themes that address barriers to resting, present differing ways toward finding quietness within, and both short and longer practices that address even the busiest days.
You can use these audio practices as part of your lunch break, commute, downtime, or as a way to drift off to sleep at night, meaning you’ll be able to find time to rest, even if you don’t believe it’s possible.
