Meeting the World with Positive Emotion
Saturday 13 August 2022 12:30am – 6:30am at Friends Meeting House
Venue: Friends Meeting House, Quaker Close, Woodlands Drive, Scarborough, YO12 5QZ The meeting house is situated on the A171 Scalby Road, adjacent to Scarborough Hospital. From the town centre follow signs for the hospital.
About the day: This day retreat we will be led by Mahasraddha and team, and we will explore, through teaching and meditation, the Buddhist practices of love, compassion, joy and equanimity, in order to help us meet the world with positive states of mind.
We’ll end the day with the ‘sending and receiving’ practice of Tonglen, which opens the heart to universal compassion.
Full meditation instruction will be given. There will be the opportunity to try out different meditation postures on mats, cushions and chairs, and see what works best for you.
This event is suitable for everyone aged 18 and above. All welcome, you don't need to be a Buddhist, or want to be a Buddhist!
Bring and share vegetarian lunch (more about this will follow in the joining info)
