A Meditation School of the Nyingma Buddhist and Universal Awakening Traditions
The aim of Harmony of the Way is to nurture spiritual growth, allowing us to find the balance and skill to be able to rest in presence, in loving acceptance of what is, and be able to dynamically engage with the world around us.
Spiritual director Lama Noah Samarkand is a modern day mystic, meditation teacher and writer. He is a former monk, received a degree in performance art and practiced as a successful theatre director and writer while engaging in spiritual training. He set up Harmony of the Way as a meditation school that focuses on the inner path of spirituality.

Lama Noah Samarkand
In this video Lama Noah answers some of the most significant questions relating to the inner way of spirituality.
Retreat
As well as weekly classes Lama Noah also leads regular retreats, ranging from one day to one month. Retreat provides us with time and space away from our usual daily lives in order to deepen into our spiritual path. This film is a small snapshot of one of our retreats.
Sadhana
Lama Noah Samarkand has kindly created the following Sadhanas. The word Sadhana refers to a dedicated practice, or Prayer. The audios are beautiful pieces of music created by our Sangha which allows us to sing the Sadhana out loud, an important element in the practice.

‘The spiritual path in essence is being a kind, loving and peaceful human being. It is to know thyself. To understand one's mind, to know one's heart and to recognise reality as it is.’ Lama Noah Samarkand.

‘The central practice at Harmony of the Way is resting in Living Presence. It is the silent ‘I am’ presence. It is the natural unfabricated space within all of us pointed to by all mystical traditions.’ Lama Noah Samarkand.
Visitor Sharings
Since 2016 I have been participating in retreats and teachings at Harmony of the way with Noah. I can't describe with words how it enriched my life and as a consequence the lives of the ones around me.
In a single sentence:
Its life changing!
Thank you everyone at Harmony of the way.
🙏🙏🙏.

Noah and the others at harmony of the way are always incredibly welcoming and have made me feel at home whenever I visit.
I have had some lovely shared retreats at the centre, as well as online, and Noah has taught me so many wonderful things about myself and the beauty of life. Truly grateful for the time spent here, the friendships made and the ability to keep revisiting!
- Losang
A beautiful space, surrounded by warmth and welcoming people. Noah will encourage and guide you in such a way that transformation is possible. There is so much love to be shared and Harmony of the way encourages us to open our hearts in such a way that life has greater meaning, soul’s purpose and love.
The path truly is a wonderful one, and you can walk it with love. Thank you for opening my eyes.
Blessings.❤️

Since meeting Lama Noah, my life has been filled with ever increasing meaning. I have been guided beautifully time and time again, always reminding me to turn inwards to my own heart for answers. Lama Noah’s teachings are profound, yet his delivery is beautifully simple and easy to follow. Noahla has changed my life and helped my heart open to a new world of light, love, wonder, faith and depth I never knew was available. Thank you Lama Noah and all the Sangha!
