Awakening in the World (1) - Establishing the Timeless Refuge of Awareness (online series)

We are living in extraordinary times. The converging crises are unprecedented in their scale and implication, and could quite literally change everything. So how can we galvanise a path of awakening in these times, and what might it look like?

The Dharma has much to offer, from transformative insight into our interdependent reality, timeless resources for facing and navigating uncertainty and challenge, and perhaps most importantly, a means for unlocking our hearts. The world is in deep need of more wisdom and compassion, and access to timeless Dharma supports and practice contexts are crucial. But the shape of our life and our path is for each one of us to discover, and practicing in our daily life setting provides an ideal opportunity for this exploration.

Over these four weekends of flexible practice, mixing formal silent practice with self-led practice, we cover some of the key teaching emphases that have emerged as these ancient teachings have met our cultures, and explore a path for the life and times we are living - grounding our practice in that which is timeless, whilst opening to what is emergent and particular to this era. And most importantly, summoning a wholehearted practice intention to galvanise momentum, for our own sake, and the sake of the world around.

The weekends can be attended individually, or together as a set of supports running across the year. There may also be the opportunity to attend in between group sessions, or 1-1 meetings, to support your practice in daily life. The dates for other weekends in the series are:

• Friday 21st – Sunday 23rd June
• Friday 27th – Sunday 29th September
• Friday 22nd – 24th November
