Thursdays

• Time: 19:30-21:30
• Description: The regular format for our meetings is two 25-30 minute periods of sitting meditation with mindful movement practice (walking or qigong) in between, and we give instructions about how we do those practices. We then have tea, and in the remaining time share a talk or reading on a Buddhist/Chan theme which we follow with a group discussion. We operate on a drop-in basis, so there's no expectation of people joining every week. Newcomers and beginners are particularly welcome. For one of our meetings each month, we have an 'extended practice evening' with more of a focus on meditation practice.
