On the final Saturday of each month, we get together for some time to meditate and explore a new theme related to mindfulness and compassion practice.

Each morning is split into two 50 minute sessions, with and an intervening coffee break.

The first session focuses on mindfulness meditation, including time for meditation and grounded discussion around a theme related to mindfulness practice.

The second session focuses on developing compassion, for one’s self and others. Each week explores materials and practices from different traditions and teachers, including Norman Fischer, Ajahn Brahm, and Susan Piver.

Bringing these two aims together is inspired by the belief that mindfulness and compassion need to be practiced together. Each supports the other, like two wings of a bird without which the bird cannot fly and the power of our practice remains hidden.

These monthly events are open to both beginners and experienced meditators.
