Monthly Saturday Practice Sessions
Online 10am-1pm
​
We live in a hectic world that makes constant demands on our time and energy. Our monthly practice sessions are an opportunity to drop out of this state of doing and move into a place of being.
​
Each session is a mini retreat that takes inspiration from the seasons and life as it is happening around us.
​
September and October session's will connect us with Autumn and the gentle letting go that is happening all around us. It is a time of reflection and renewal as we prepare for Winter and contemplate what we would like to place in our store house for the coming months.
​
November and December session's will welcome Winter. November is the gentle pause before the hustle and bustle of December.
​​
Each session will be spent in meditation with space for sharing in community and connecting with others on this path of peace.
​
​The session's are suitable for long term practitioners who wish to sustain practice and for newcomers who are getting started on the path.
​
"Don't meditate to fix yourself, to heal yourself, to improve yourself or redeem yourself. Rather do it as an act of love, of deep, warm friendship with yourself." Bob Sharples
​
Each month may be booked individually.
​
The session's are online from 10am to 1pm and you will receive recording's of the practices. The session's cost 30.00 per month.
