SUMMARY:Introduction to Meditation and Buddhism
DESCRIPTION:Current Theme: Living with Awareness\n\n\n\nThe Buddhist practice of Mindfulness can be an effective way of changing. Over the next number of weeks we will explore how we can develop a mindfulness practice that evolves the way we relate to ourselves\, others and the world\, into something more inclusive\, creative\, and expansive. \n\n\n\nEach session will introduce a meditation that you can take away and practice. There will also be explanations of practical aspects of the Buddhist way of life. \n\n\n\nWe hope that you can make each session but if that is not possible\, come along when you can – each morning will be designed to stand-alone and complete in itself. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow to join\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us at the Centre\, doors open from 10:15am.  \n\n\n\nThis event is free to attend\, but if you feel moved to support us\, donations are warmly appreciated.  \n\n\n\nYou can find more information on our Giving Page. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTeam\n\n\n\nThese sessions are led and/or supported by: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAmoghavajra\n\n\n\n\n\nAriyanivata\n\n\n\n\n\nShubha\n\n\n\n\n\nJvalasara\n\n\n\n\n\nHarşamitra\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLinz\n\n\n\n\n\nDarren\n\n\n\n\n\nAdam\n\n\n\n\n\nAshley\n\n\n\n\n\nDaniel
