This week we will revisit the classic teaching on the gap: That place that emerges out of simply coming back to our actual experience out of the fantasies of past present and future, to that ever renewing being that is the foundation of revolution.

Arrive at 19:15 for a 19:30 start.

‘Near death experiences have previously been considered unworthy of science but, now that these experiences are being seriously acknowledged and are a valid area for scientific study, it seems that we are on the threshold of expanding our current knowledge about the meaning of life and death.‘

When we take an embodied approach, we discover the Heart anew.

This month, through embodiment, we come to the fresh direct experience of the heart. We will explore what it means to be in relationship with the heart in embodied awareness, the different aspects of the heart, and its qualities including connection, openness and wisdom.

Beyond Metta we may find the “embodied heart”.

With Padmadrishiti

Doors open at 9:45 for a 10am start.

Our tradition places great emphasis on building Sangha (a friendly community of individuals practising the Dharma, the Buddha’s teachings, alongside each other). Possibly because of the experience of the pandemic we may be noticing how we are by nature social creatures: We need each other to know ourselves. This is a safe and open space in which to be with others to bring kind attention to how we relate to others and just as importantly, ourselves.

These ‘in person’ events in the Centre facilitated by Bhadra and Dharmamrta can be seen as a facilitated meditation practice focusing on both internal and external experience. Just like meditation, it is an opportunity to gain some insight into the shape and texture of our thoughts and body sensations as they appear, especially how they affect our relation to ourselves and others. 

We start by laying out the Dharma framework with which to orientate ourselves. Then, more...
