Men's Day: Working with Difficulties in Meditation
Sunday 26 June 2022 12:30am – 6am
This Men's Day continues our theme of exploring meditation, building on previous men's days and the meditation mentoring programme.
At this event our exploration of meditation will see us looking at the nature of so called difficulties and how they may manifest in our practice. We will then learn how we might work with them through a series of presentations, lead meditations and discussions.
The following dates will continue this deep dive into our meditation practice:
31st July
11th September
4th December
Please bring vegan food for our shared lunch
