October Group Meditation
SILENT SUNDAYS
October 5th 12th 19th 26th
There is a quiet invitation waiting here, a doorway into the week that asks only that we turn up, close our eyes and allow the world, with all its clamour, its demands and its heavy weather , to soften at the edges. To come together in this way is to find a rare peace, a shared silence that, far from being empty, is filled with the presence of each and every one of us, joined in a moment outside of mind.
This is a time for us to return to the simplest part of ourselves: the self that does not strive or worry or reach to accomplish, but settles innocently in the vastness of being. Here, together, we practice something deeply elemental, closing our eyes to open our hearts, letting go of the thousand things to rest in the one thing, to rest in that still center which, in all our busyness, we forget is there.
Every Sunday is a quiet act of courage, a willingness to step away from the schedule, and let insight, clarity, and equanimity rise in us by the ease and simplicity of our own surrender. And as we sit together in this way, we are also inspired by the depth of ideas and wealth of knowledge that’s gifted with this practice, that forges a new model for living, a model of being deeply rooted in our essence, a life built on the foundations of a living , shared, unspoken understanding.
Come as you are, and we will gather in simplicity and ease, with no agenda other than to listen, to listen not only to the silence around us but to the silence within, and, perhaps, to hear something truer than the stories we tell ourselves, something more enduring than any thought. This is not only meditation but a kind of remembering, a guide to bring us back to our most cantered selves, so that we may step back into the world a little more whole, a little more patient, and with a heart made spacious and free.
