The Green Buddha: Appreciative Mindfulness in Troubled Times

November 11th: 1015 - 1300 (GMT)

This is the title of a residential week’s retreat Smritiratna is due to lead here in January. Here is an introduction as well as a chance to do this mini retreat on the theme even if you can’t make the January week.

Please arrive by 10.15am to allow time for arriving, saying hello, settling in and making sure our devices are well adjusted for an optimal experience. Then at 10.30 the retreat will start (you won't be able to join the retreat after 1030 so please be on time). This will include a led meditation, a short presentation and the opportunity to meet in small groups (3's or 4's) to share experiences and formulate questions for later. There will be a ten minute break as we approach halfway but also please close your eyes and take it easy if you start getting screen fatigue at any time. The retreat will finish by 1pm.

To fully benefit your half-day retreat we recommend that you keep your phone off (along with TV and Radio) for the whole morning. So from the moment you wake, you can devote your morning to mindfulness, meditation and reflection. You can schedule time for your own practice before you tune in at 10.15 and in this way you’ll be more receptive to our gathering and really benefit.

Bookings will close at 4pm on Tuesday 10th November.
