Weekly Group Meditations
Wednesday nights 6:30-8:00pm
I run weekly group meditations in South Golden Beach and online on Wednesday nights for Vedic or Transcendental meditators. Meditators report that when they meditate in a group, the experience is often deeper and more profound. Group meditations consist of a 20-minute meditation followed by a Q&A and talk on Vedic knowledge. They are a great place to meet like-minded meditators and share experiences of the practice. Group med is free of charge and open to all Vedic and Transcendental meditators. Please get in touch via mailing list, email or social media for South Golden Beach address, Zoom details and updates.
Learn to Round
$121 per workshop|$275 for private course| $55 to resit
Next Workshop - TBC
A ‘Round’ is an advanced meditation technique that combines the 20-minute Vedic Meditation practice with a specific sequence of gentle yoga asanas (poses) and pranayama (breathwork). When the asana and pranayama components are practised prior to meditation, the body begins to unwind deep-rooted stress before closing our eyes to meditate. Despite being a soft and gentle practice, a round has a profound effect on lifting fatigue and increasing our mental clarity and adaptation energy, particularly when incorporated into our regular routine. A round is a technique that can be practiced at home to deepen your meditation practice and is suitable for all ages and fitness levels. It is a pre-requisite for the Exploring the Veda advanced knowledge courses which commences early 2023. A course in rounding takes 2.5 hours to complete and includes take home notes.

Advanced Techniques
2 x 1 hour PRIVATE appointments, 7-10 days apart
Meditators are eligible to receive an Advanced Technique after each 12 months of regular practice.
Practicing with an Advanced Technique allows meditators to experience a more subtle layer of awareness during meditation called Ritam. The more Ritam is experienced during meditation, the more this blissful state is normalised and able to be accessed with eyes open, leading to refined sensory acuity, mental clarity and adaptive activity. Advanced Techniques are designed to enable meditators to access higher states of consciousness at an accelerated pace.
Private Mentoring
$220 for 60min | In person and online
Private mentoring is a great way to refine your meditation practice and receive practical advice on how to incorporate Vedic principles into your life. Private consultations are available to meditators and non-meditators, in person or via phone/Zoom and sessions are designed to meet your individual needs. They can be especially valuable in dealing with stress and change or to cultivate certain values in your work or relationships. I have mentored people from all walks of life including mothers, retirees, ex-athletes, corporates and creatives.
I also have experience mentoring primary and high school aged children. Please contact Dan for availabilities.

The Veda is the ancient body of knowledge from which this meditation technique comes from. It is also the origin of yoga, Ayurveda and all Eastern philosophies and meditation practices. The Veda is universal knowledge, structured within everyone's consciousness state and, contains within it, mastery of all the laws of nature. My inspiring teacher, Thom Knoles has put together a six part series of weekend courses (73 hours total) exploring the meaning of the Veda and how to apply it to ones own life to enliven true fulfilment. Course participants learn techniques to deepen their meditation practice, receive course materials, Ayurvedic meals and an integration Q&A after each instalment.

Mastering The Siddhis - Advanced Course
weekend course | 5 instalments run IN 2025 (6th INSTALMENT run SEPARATELY)
INVESTMENT - $1375 per instalment or $4000 for 3 instalments
Twenty-seven centuries ago, the great seer (Maharishi) Patanjali brought forth his masterpiece—the Yoga Sutras. A sutra is more than just words; it’s a formula of consciousness, a key to unlocking the unity between the individual mind and the vast intelligence of the cosmos. In this timeless text, Patanjali lays out the path to mastering the relationship between human potential and the fundamental laws of nature. Yet, for centuries, few have truly grasped the depth of his teachings, and they faded into obscurity—until now. A siddhi is an extraordinary human power, a rare ability to align with nature’s intelligence and manifest desires effortlessly. It is the art of moving in perfect flow with creation, sourced from a deep state of bliss consciousness. When mastered, the siddhis stand as the most advanced and transformative technique in a meditator’s practice.
Each of the first five instalments consists of approximately eight hours of recorded instructions and lectures by Thom Knoles. Each instalment introduces a new practice with profound, lifelong benefits and can be experienced independently without completing all six. However, the course must be taken in sequence, as each instalment builds naturally upon the previous one. The sixth and final instalment can be learnt from one of Dan’s colleagues. Contact Dan for more info.
Each of the instalments will give you a new practice with enormous lifelong benefit and can be enjoyed without the necessity to complete all 6 instalments. However the course must be completed in sequential order as one instalment leads naturally into the next.
Prerequisites: Completion of Instalments 1-6 of Exploring the Veda or completion of an ETV instalment prior to the equivalent MTS instalment.
