Nirajadhi joins us this month with an opportunity to delve deeper together into the treasures of meditating with others (as opposed to practicing on our own at home).  The evening will be what is known as a ‘Sesshin style’, from the Zen tradition, with a format of sitting, walking meditation and sitting in silence.  She has been engaging in this pattern of practice for 25 years in a variety of contexts (day retreats, practice evenings and intensive silent meditation retreats including a month long one.)  She says: ‘This rhythm of meditation has really deepened my mediation experiences through more intensive practice conditions.  It has also supported me to experiment and gain confidence with carrying meditative absorption through different postures.  These conditions also offer a direct experience of what arises when a number of people practice in this way together, potentially offering a sense of sangha [community] creation without words.’

Arrive from 7.15pm for a 7.30pm start. Open to all aged 18-35 years inclusive.
