One to one
A quiet conversation and practice for one person — for getting started, or for working through something specific.
Sessions
What a session involves.
A simple explanation, a guided practice, and time to ask questions — shaped around the people in the room. Suitable whether you have never meditated or have practised for years.
Nothing to prepare, nothing to believe in advance.
Sessions are practical and plain-spoken. Smriti explains how meditation works and why, leads a short guided practice, and leaves room for questions and discussion. You are welcome to take what is useful and leave the rest.
A single session usually runs around forty-five minutes to an hour, in person or online. Longer workshops and multi-session programmes can be arranged for groups and institutions.
Formats
Three ways to meet.
Groups & communities
A private or public session for a family, a group of friends, a residents' association or a community gathering.
Schools & organisations
Sessions for students or for staff wellbeing — schools, colleges and universities, workplaces, healthcare and government institutions.

A recent programme
A year with a Sudanese women’s group in Australia.
It began with a chance meeting near a retreat centre in New South Wales, and grew from a single day in September 2025 into a year of meditation — in person, then most mornings online. The sessions narrowed over months from a full hour to a well-used half hour, and participants describe being calmer with their children, sleeping better, and less quick to anger.
Cost
Free of charge, and without obligation.
There is no fee for a session — for an individual, a group, a school or an organisation. It is offered as a service. If you would like to give something for a good cause voluntarily, you are welcome to, but it is never expected.
Smriti travels for much of the year, so dates are limited and the calendar fills early. If you have a date or a window in mind, please write well ahead.
How to book
Getting in touch.
Send a note through the contact form, or by email. It helps to include:
- — whether it is for yourself or a group / institution
- — rough number of people, and their setting (e.g. students, staff)
- — where you are, or whether you would prefer to meet online
- — any dates or timing that would suit
Separately
Personal counselling, beyond meditation
If what you are carrying goes further than learning to meditate, Smriti also offers private one-to-one counselling. That is a separate arrangement — a paid personal service, discussed individually. If you think it applies to you, please say so when you write.
