Restarting on 9th October | NEW TIME! 2-5 pm | in person only event

Suitable for those with 3+ years of practice experience within Triratna. 

Walking Wisdom

Another immersion in the spiritual faculty of Prajna (wisdom or insight), this time explored particularly through walking meditation.  The freedom of Shunyata, or Ungraspability, can be touched in any moment of experience. We’ll be looking deeply at the experience of walking, to see its open, ungraspable nature.
