You do not have to sign up to all four sessions in order to attend, and we would be happy to accept donations on the door for those who wish to attend at the Lodge - please email hello@compassionatemind.co.uk to let us know if you wish to attend in person and pay on the door.
Following a wealth of research indicating the benefits of Buddhist mindfulness and compassion practices, there is growing interest into the nature, applications and benefits of Buddhist wisdom principles, which are concerned with overcoming suffering by cultivating insight into the ultimate nature of the self and reality. Some key examples include the wisdom practices of non-self, non-attachment, interconnectedness, impermanence, non-duality and emptiness, the latter of which implies that although phenomena are perceptible to the human mind, they do not intrinsically exist. However, due to its inclination to perceive in egoistic and dualistic (i.e., self-other) terms, the mind has a tendency to fixate on phenomena and relate to them as existing in a permanent and independent way. Ultimately, this stifles our growth as human beings, reduces psychological flexibility, and limits our ability to encounter reality "as it is".
This series of four workshops will explore emerging empirical insights indicating how Buddhist wisdom principles can not only deepen our understanding of the mind and reality, but also help us realise more of our capacity for compassion, awareness and wellbeing. The workshops are intended for individuals both new to and experienced in contemplative approaches, and will focus on integration and application within daily living and applied contexts. In addition to lecture and Q&A components, each weekly session will include a guided meditation intended to deepen awareness of these ancient forms of contemplative wisdom.
