Recognizing the challenge of maintaining an ongoing meditation practice; the need for 'practical wisdom perspectives' in dealing with the stress and issues of contemporary life; the opportunity to check-in with a well-practiced Meditation Teacher; and the benefits of group support of like-minded people; through WELL-AWARE-NESS, John Barter provides three ongoing Meditation Groups.
Each of these Meditation Groups runs for one and a half hours, and is structured as follows:
The first half-hour John provides some reflections and teachings on applying practical wisdom for living consciously, while learning and growing through our experience of Life. These reflections often come from John's understanding of the Buddha's teachings, his own experience of Buddhist Monastic life, and the application of a psycho-spiritual perspectives to daily living.
The second half-hour, John guides a Mindfulness based Meditation.
The third half-hour, provides opportunity for a cup of tea, questions and discussion.
There is no need to book or register for the drop-in group, however if coming for the first time it is best to phone or email.
