Men's Work and Meditation Day
Sunday 10 April 2022 12:30am – 6am at Valley Farm Cottage
In November 2021 a group of men started exploring 'work as a spiritual practice'. During this work day a meditation clearing was made in a beautiful wood at Valley Farm. On Sunday 10th we will be holding another Men’s Day around the theme “Work as a Spiritual Practice”. In additional we will be taking advantage of the meditation clearing created by our last Men's sangha work day on 14th November.
Our plan will be to continue assisting Nick in his sensitive stewardship of the land at his property in Higham. Although there will of course be some manual activity this will be secondary to the opportunity to enjoy being together outdoors, chatting about our lives, cooking over a fire and meditating in the outdoors. There will not be any formal Dharma study, although we are planning some ritual at the end of the day.
As the activity will include an element of physical exertion please contact Sthiranāga (sthiranaga@gmail.com) if you would like to understand the nature of this before booking.
The event will be dependant upon the weather so we are asking those planning to come to book so we can keep in touch in case we have to change our plans or cancel.
Please book and provide your contact details so that we can contact you in the event of changes or cancellation due to the weather.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need to bring?
It would be great to have vegan sausages and burgers to cook on the fire. Rolls or bread would also be good as we will hopefully have some delicious homemade soup courtesy of Cath.
You will need to bring things for the work period but these will be sent to you once you have booked.
If I can't make the whole day can I come for part of it?
Yes this would be possible, however please indicate this when booking. Although the work period will be in the morning we will still be doing some walking meditation over fairly uneven ground in the afternoon.
Do I have to be a Buddhist?
No. Although the meditation that we will be doing will be a Buddhist meditation and there will be Buddhist ritual to round off the day.
