Regular classes and one-off events exploring Buddhist practice
New DAYTIME Course
Mind Reactive - Mind Creative
How to tame our chattering minds and create a contented life
Six Thursdays from 24th October (N.B. no class on 7th November)
There will be a short break around 12 noon each week
Each week we will start with a guided meditation and, after a tea break, we'll explore why our minds are like they are - and how we can change them. This regular group is a perfect introduction to Buddhism and meditation practice and is run on a drop-in basis - come as often as you can but it doesn't matter if you miss weeks as each session will be complete in itself. Join us just for the meditation or for the whole class.
This is a drop-in class so come when you can - no need to book. All over 18 Welcome - Experience of Buddhism or meditation is not necessary. There is no charge but we would appreciate a donation on the day.
Exploring the Mandala of the Five Buddhas
Wednesday Evenings from 20th November to 18th December - 7.00pm to 9.15pm (with a break around 8.00pm)
The Buddhist tradition has an abundance of mythical or archetypal Buddhas - each one symbolising a particular quality or qualities of the historical Buddha Shakyamuni. The Five Buddha Mandala is a particular grouping of these Archetypal Buddhas which, together, can be thought of as the Dharmadatu - or Ultimate Reality, the Enlightened Mind or our true potential as human beings. During these five weeks we will be exploring what they mean and how they came about, and how, one by one, they can guide us towards spiritual growth and understanding.
All over 18 welcome whether new to Buddhism or more experienced. There is no need to book, just turn up. There is no charge but, as we have no other income we would appreciate a donation each week (we suggest £10 but please donate whatever feels okay)
Crystal Bowl Sound Bath with Georgia
Friday 22 November 7pm – 8pm
Immersing in the vibrations of crystal singing bowls allows us to drop into a deeper meditative state whereby we are able to fully relax and let go. Through the crystal bowl vibrations, the nervous system is able to return to a state of rest and digest, allowing the body to heal and creating enough inner space where we get to know ourselves better.
There is nothing to do in preparation, just come with an open mind and heart. Open to all over 18, no previous experience necessary. Booking is essential as places are limited
Fully Booked
