Scheduled Events
The Art of Meditation: 3-5 March. Price £90
This weekend will be an introduction to simple meditation techniques which can be used in our everyday lives to bring more ease, joy and simplicity. Through sitting (chairs included!), relaxation and movement, we will learn ways to deepen our connection with ourselves, others, our essence and nature. Both beginners and those with some experience are welcome.
Chris Blain & Alison Moore are Buddhists and experienced leaders of meditation courses. They support the Theravadan monasteries in Northumberland and Hertfordshire.
The wisdom of the Enneagram with Janette Blakemore: 10-12 March. Price £160
The Enneagram is a powerful practical model for self discovery, personal and spiritual growth. It describes 9 basic personality types. It reveals what motivates us, the basic coping strategy we adopt and what can cause our relationships to flourish or flounder. It invites us to explore who we truly are at a deeper level and to discover that there is also something else within us – the Divine Light, the Soul, the Spirit that is yearning to fulfil itself and to break free.
Janette Blakemore is a leadership coach, group facilitator and writer with 20 years’ experience in the area of personal and management development. She is very interested in the connection between psychology and spirituality.
Living through Loss with Elizabeth Brown & Frances Crampton: 24-26 March. Price: £125
‘There is nothing that is lost that can’t be found if saught’ says Shakespeare. Do we agree? The relationship as we knew it has changed. That which is lost may be ‘out of sight’ but not ‘out of mind’. But is that which was lost still held in the Universal Mind of Love (God)? How do we relate to that which was loved and lost, honouring our grief and yet loving still? Let us ponder these things together. Experiences of all manners of losses may be brought to this weekend.
Elizabeth Brown & Frances Crampton are members of the Quaker Retreat Group and experienced course leaders.
T’ai Chi with Sheila Aimson: 24-26 March. Price £145
