SUMMARY:Compassion in Action at Samye Ling
DESCRIPTION:Have you noticed how just beneath your concerns and worries for our society and planet, lies your heartfelt care? If you peek beneath the surface of the concerns, you might find yourself reunited with what you love most about life. Connecting with the love and care we already have can give us a whole new starting point for our compassion in action. From this platform we may find a more joyful, less taxing and more sustainable path of action unique to ourselves.\n\nConnect with others on this topic to help find more resilience and an increased sense of agency to bring compassion into action.\nBecome more clear on what resources, nourishes and grounds you.\nDelve into practices that can help discover new and empowering perspectives.\nExplore the relationship between any emotions that show up and the love you feel for people/planet, to find a different way of relating to them.\nExperience our essential interconnectness with all life and sense the earth as an ever-present resource for deeply grounding ourselves.\nMove towards finding what your realistic and enjoyable contribution can be, rather than feeling that whatever you do is never enough.\n\n \n\nIn this weekend we will build on mindfulness and compassion practices with Joanna Macy’s Work that Reconnects, a skilful method that grew out of her decades long environmental activism and deep understanding of Buddhism. Through a mix of meditations and interactive exercises, we will resource and nourish ourselves with gratitude and connection, so we have more capacity for holding difficult feelings. We’ll explore new perspectives that empower and encourage to see how we can mindfully and practically bring our compassion into action. Whether it’s local or global issues that have you worried, frustrated or overwhelmed, or whether you know you care but just feel a bit numb with it all, this course will offer supportive conditions to ‘turn towards’ rather than away, in the good company of others.\nThe practices will facilitate a growing grounding in ourselves and the presence of the earth, as well as connection with each other and the interconnectness with all life. The beautiful surroundings of the Samye Ling monastery in springtime with wholesome food, along the heartful holding of space by Kristine, will offer further supportive conditions for continuing to play our part in the global recovery with renewed active hope.\nPre-requisites\nFor this course it is recommended that you have some mindfulness meditation experience. This could be the Level 1 training with the Mindfulness Association or an 8 week mindfulness course whether it be MBSR, MBLC or any other along those lines or it could be equivalent experience.\nTutor: Kristine Mackenzie-Janson\nDates: 25-27 April 2025\nPrice: £165.00\nLocation: Samye Ling ( https://www.samyeling.org/ )\nTimes: 19.00-20.30pm on the Friday evening, 8.00am to 20.00pm on the Saturday and 8.00am to 15.00pm on Sunday.\nBooking: To book this course please contact: info@mindfulnessassociation.net ( mailto:info@mindfulnessassociation.net )\nPlease book your accommodation and meals for the weekend directly with Samye Ling by emailing reception@samyeling.org.
