(a ‘refuge’ is a safe place – every Buddhist takes ‘refuge’ in the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha)
This Tuesday group is a small meditation- & awareness-focused Practice ‘circuit’ meant for people who have been exploring Buddhism but wish to improve in:
Meditation (25mins), Loving-Kindness, Equanimity, Compassion, Sympathetic Joy, Deep Listening, & Gratitude.
We will get to know each other while we deepen our Practice in a safe and caring environment.
Members will have the opportunity to run a weekly of session (voluntary).
This is a different form: that of a Circle, with each member contributing and learning from each other.
To join, I am asking interested people to have a commitment to this Circle for a ‘Season’.
This is much the same as if you were to join a sports team:
You can certainly miss a weekly session, but I ask that you are committed to being there for yourself and each other as if you were on a team.
This ‘Season’ Practice will run Tuesday evenings from Oct 10th through Dec 5th, starting at 7pm, at the Temple.
We usually finish about ~8:30pm, then a little shared cleanup of teacups that we used etc.
You can come on Tuesday Sept 12th to try it out before the ‘committed’ Season starts.
It is a gentle group, led by it’s members.
Membership is limited.
Dana to the temple: $25/person, speak to me if you cannot afford that, it should not be an impediment to attending.
