Jayachitta writes: Bristol Buddhist Centre welcomes people from all walks of life, genders and backgrounds.

How can we meet in this glorious diversity, appreciating difference of expression, while still being held together, cherishing and nurturing our connectedness. Can we find ways to bridge the seeming gap between self & other?

If we engage in that, we might find our Sangha becomes richer and also contributes towards alleviating alienation and conflict in the world.

In movement and in meditation, we will start to listen in and to each other and to connect. We will experience ourselves in interaction with others and the world, and through that discover how in this dialogue we are always new and fresh.

In this way we discover that we and the Sangha can be an alive communication, where every one of us has a unique place to enrich all.

Jayachitta has followed a Buddhist practice since 1981 and was ordained in 1990. She has lived and worked with other Buddhists for a lot of that time, and now lives in Berlin. More info on Jayachitta’s work here. She enjoys the practice of body-based methods to deepen experience of meditation and attending to the mind. Having trained in physical theatre and improvisation for over 25 years, she uses them as additional approaches to the spiritual life, based on embodied experience and play. www.playofnow.com
