Level 1 · Logomeditation Foundations
Twelve weeks.
Then you carry it yourself.
The programme is designed to end. Twelve weeks of guided work, after which you practise on your own — without an app, a subscription, or us.
Logomeditation is a structured contemplative method grounded in Viktor Frankl’s logotherapy — from the Greek logos, meaning. Not from “logo,” the commercial mark.
What you are actually after
People rarely arrive asking for meditation. They arrive with something more specific. These are the outcomes the twelve weeks are built to produce — capacities, not cures.
The gap between what happens and what you do stops closing automatically. You notice the reaction before it becomes the response.
Attention that holds where you put it, and returns without self-reproach when it wanders. The returning, not the holding, is the training.
You recognize that you are not identical to what you think or feel. The thought remains; its grip does not.
Naming what is happening affectively while it can still be worked with, instead of after it has already spoken for you.
Separating what matters from what merely shouts — and being able to say why. Decisions stop being made by whichever pressure was loudest.
A body that knows how to stand down, and a mind that can stop rehearsing tomorrow at midnight. Practices for quieting a racing mind, settling before sleep, and coming back after a day that took more than it gave.
The cultivation of love as a trained disposition rather than a mood. Seeing the person you had stopped seeing.
Meaning recognized in the situation actually in front of you — a task, a relationship, an attitude — rather than a purpose invented in the abstract.
At the end you hold a practice, a vocabulary, and a criterion of your own. That is the point of the twelve-week limit.
The arc
Each week carries a theme, a human capacity, a formal practice, a virtue, and a reflection. The order is not arbitrary: each week stands on the one before.
Weeks 1–3 · Attend
Concentration and the stability of attention. Breathing attentively. Bodily sensation. The first virtue: meekness in the very act of returning.
Weeks 4–6 · Free
Feelings, emotions, and loose thoughts. Cognitive defusion and inner freedom. The levels of the cognitive phenomenon: word, idea, narrative, governing thought.
Weeks 7–9 · Cultivate
The cultivation of love. Visualization as the rehearsal of virtue. Perception, vigilance, and the preparation of the response.
Weeks 10–12 · Answer
Values and commitments. Meaning and self-transcendence. Wonder. The handover: your practice, from here, without us.
How it runs
- Twelve weekly sessions of ninety minutes, live and online, in a small group.
- A circle each week: how the practice met your actual life, what you found, what got in the way.
- One new meditative exercise per week, plus a reflection to carry through the days.
- Daily practice of two or three short sittings — five to ten minutes each. Not more. Regularity beats duration.
- A notebook of your own, in which you write only what is significant, in your own words.
- Recordings of every guided practice, yours to keep after the programme ends.
The three commitments
Before enrolling, each participant is asked to accept three things. They are the conditions under which the method works, and we would rather you decline than half-accept.
- Attendance — presence and punctuality.
- When you remember, you practise — two or three short sittings a day, whichever fits your temperament.
- The widened intention — the two wings: acceptance that permits change, and the commitment to learn in order to be of use to others.
Who it is for
Adults who want a practice with a structure and an end — including people who have tried meditation and found that it stopped short of what they needed. No prior experience is required.
Who it is not for. Logomeditation is an educational and contemplative programme. It is not psychotherapy and not medical treatment. If you are in acute crisis, or under care for a condition where contemplative practice needs clinical oversight, say so when you apply — we will tell you honestly and, where appropriate, refer rather than enrol.
Completing the twelve weeks is also the prerequisite for training as a facilitator.
Facilitator Training →Twelve weeks changes you. A year lets you change others.
Most who finish the programme go back to their own lives. A few come back to lead. If you suspect you are the second kind, let us send you what the training asks — before you decide anything.
