Opening to the Impact of the Climate Emergency
Thank you to all whom have participated in or supported us without being present. This group formed to discuss the predicament of environmental/social collapse and our Dharma practice. We have met monthly since September 2022 on the second Tuesday of the month at 7.30.
We will take a break in August, We will reconvene on Tuesday September 12th, by structuring our sessions with the book, “Mindfully Facing Climate Change,” by Venerable Analyo, followed by another resource such as a poem, video clip or article.
Because the book lends itself to chunking of approximately 30 page sections which are self contained, we think it will work for those who just want to drop in from time to time as well as people who come regularly.
Please make contact with Gwen if you would like to join or leave the mailing list.
Noirin Sheahan has set up a Satipanya Forum focussing on the Six Maxims (ethical training to prepare for the social and environmental consequences of climate change - see tip below). Contact Noirin for further info or to register.
We welcome new faces.
Zoom Study Group
This collaborative study group has evolved out of the fortnightly London and South East Satipanya Saṅgha which has been meeting via Zoom since the beginning of the Covid outbreak. We are currently studying the Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta, as set out by Joseph Goldstein in his 46 part discussion on the Dharma Seed site and in his book Mindfulness: A Practical Guide to Awakening. We intend to continue this group on Zoom and warmly extend an invitation to any practitioner who would like to join us. Currently meeting alternate Sundays 10:30am - midday. Please contact [email protected] for further information. (By the way, please try again if you've emailed to attend and haven't received anything back, Carl has been particularly busy lately.)
