Meditation & Dharma at Sammā — seated practice of stable awareness

Meditation & Dharma

A meditation practice rooted in the teachings of the Dharma and the Theravāda Buddhist tradition — a path of stillness and inner investigation, cultivated patiently under the guidance of an experienced teacher.

Meditation at Sammā is rooted in the teachings of the Dharma and the Theravāda Buddhist tradition — a path of discipline, inner investigation, and direct experience. It is a practice of stillness and careful attention, cultivated patiently over time.

At the heart of this approach is jhāna meditation: the art of gathering the mind into deep states of stillness, clarity, and absorption. The Dharma offers a profound understanding of the mind — how it creates stress, how it can be freed from unnecessary struggle, and how a more stable, unconditional happiness can be cultivated from within.

Under the guidance of an experienced teacher, each session is an invitation to return to oneself with depth and sincerity. Over time, the practice settles in and quietly transforms the way one inhabits the world — with greater steadiness, clarity, and freedom.

Inside a session

How a session unfolds.

Individual session 60 minutes; group sessions also available.

  1. 01

    Conversation

    Each individual session begins with a short conversation about your practice, your questions and your current state. The teacher listens to what is alive for you and tailors the guidance accordingly.

  2. 02

    Guided Practice

    The teacher guides a seated practice adapted to your level — anchoring in the breath, opening to sensations, resting in clear awareness. Posture and attitude are corrected gently as you go.

  3. 03

    Teaching & Inquiry

    A short teaching from the Buddhist contemplative tradition is offered, in connection with what arises in the session. There is space for questions and for a deeper inquiry into the texture of your experience.

  4. 04

    Integration in Daily Life

    Practical suggestions are offered to support your practice between sessions — a short daily anchor, a reading, an attention to bring into one ordinary moment of the day.

Frequently asked questions

Questions we often hear.

The practice taught at Sammā draws on the contemplative methods of the Buddhist tradition, but it is offered in a way that does not require any religious adherence. The aim is the cultivation of presence and clarity — accessible to anyone who feels called to it.

A short daily practice — even 10 to 20 minutes — tends to bring more benefit than longer, occasional sessions. The teacher helps you find a sustainable rhythm that fits your life.

Coverage depends on your complementary insurance and on the qualification of the teacher. We invite you to check your contract before the first session. Sammā issues invoices that meet Swiss complementary-billing standards.

No. The teacher meets you where you are and adjusts the guidance accordingly. Both beginners and experienced practitioners are welcomed.
