PROGRAMME SEPTEMBER 2018-JANUARY 2019

Here is our new programme starting on September 6th. The theme through to next February will be the Bodhisattva Path, and we will be looking at ‘what is a Bodhisattva?’, how a Bodhisattva lives, and the Bodhisattva-like qualities we can cultivate in our own lives. Then we will be looking at some of archetypal Bodhisattvas and the qualities they evoke.
The evenings usually include meditation, teaching, discussion, and a tea break when we can build sangha friendships. Also on the programme are regular ‘meditation evenings’ when there is a focus on meditation and the opportunity to talk about our meditation practice.


October 12th we will be hosting a multicultural story telling evening in St Collens Hall in aid of a refugee support organisation


November 22nd we will be celebrating Sangha Day.







All evenings begin at 7pm unless stated otherwise.
