This weekend workshop is looking at the issue of savouring experience using mindfulness. One of the key concepts of mindfulness is acceptance - in the case of pleasant experiences this can be supplemented by the notion of 'savouring'. How can we open ourselves to the world around us through our senses and a more accepting and friendly attitude to the inner and outer experiences of life.

Working in a friendly and supportive circle, Alistair will be exploring how we can use mindfulness to increase the richness of our day-to-day experience of simple things.

Please book through the centre office.

A look at the first of the four ordinary foundations, which form a basis for personal reflection on the need to practise the Dharma.

Part 1 - As our lives drift past it's easy to forget what's really important. These contemplations are designed to address our tendency to squander the great opportunity that is a human life by helping us to focus on what really matters. In that way they form the basis for all future Dharma practice.

This is the first of 4 afternoons covering the four ordinary foundations (other dates are: 3 Dec, 7 Jan, 4 Feb). Participants should try to come to all four afternoons. This will then be followed by a weekend teaching on the first of the four special foundations, prostrations. This will be 17/18 March at Spa Road and is intended for those who wish to start the prostrations practice.
