SUMMARY:The Essence of Meditation - January
DESCRIPTION:The Essence of Meditation\nHelpful and Practical Guidance on Meditation \nMeditation doesn’t have to be complicated or difficult. Many of us can feel we are doing something wrong if our mind is full of thoughts and distractions\, worries and feelings. At the beginning\, meditation is not about having an “empty” mind. If we can simply learn to stay present to all experience as it arises\, that is enough. That is meditation! \nAccording to the Buddhist teachings on meditation\, happiness depends entirely upon our mind and how it perceives\, so it is vital to take care and to become familiar with our mind. By gently practicing a simple method such as calm abiding (shamatha) meditation\, we pacify our scattered minds\, defuse our powerful emotions and overcome distraction. \nIf you want to attain perfect calmness in your meditation you should not be bothered by the various images you find in your mind. Let them come and let them go. Then they will be under control.\n– Suzuki Roshi \nOn this weekend retreat\, we will explore what meditation really is for you with the help of guided practices\, walking meditation and time for discussion and clarification. This retreat is suitable for everyone and no prior experience of meditation is needed. \nWho is this retreat for?\nThis retreat is for you if: \n\nYou are quite new to meditation and want to explore it in a retreat environment in a gentle way\nYou already have a meditation practice but would like to explore new methods or refresh your practice and understanding\nYou are curious about the centre and what we offer and would like to try a meditation retreat\nYou are interested in the relationship between the mind\, thoughts and emotions and how meditation can help\nYou would like to develop a simple practice you can do at home\n\nWhat to expect\n\nMeeting like minded people\nGuided reflections\, contemplative practices and mindful walking\nShort video clips with other relevant teachers\, talks\, practical resources\, group discussions and periods of silence\nTime for rest and relaxation\nEnjoying nature\n\nLocation\nThe retreat will be held in our Temple\, which is a modern example of a traditional Tibetan monastery designed to be an inspiring symbol of the Buddha’s teachings for our times. \nWhat people say about Essence of Meditation\n“Taking place in such a beautiful location\, “The Essence of Meditation” is a wonderful programme. The presenters are kind and gentle\, the instructions and meditations are well founded offering a programme that aptly reflects its title.”\n– John\, Psychologist \n“This was my first attempt at connecting with my mind to find out more about myself. I really loved the way it was guided by Mary and Derek. Will definitely come back. Dzogchen Beara and the people here have a magical vibe\, it touches you in so many ways”.\n– Tushar\, Consultant

SUMMARY:The Power of Intention – Online morning
DESCRIPTION:The Power of Intention – Online morning\nA Morning Of Reflection with Anne Sheehan \nTake some time out at the beginning of the New Year for a morning of guided reflection and contemplation and to make aspiration prayers. \nWhat do we really want? We often have wishes but are not always clear in articulating them for ourselves. What will help us\, not just now\, but in the long term? \nDuring this morning there will be time to explore the power of consciously setting intentions and to make note of our own personal aspirations. There will be time for guided reflection\, contemplation and small group interaction. Setting our intention at the beginning of any activity is very powerful\, so why not at the beginning of the year. \nWhat people say about the power of intention\n“Anne has a lovely gentle and wise approach and so easy to listen to. Thank you.” \n“This was a fantastic event. I discovered how intentions are powerful and that we can return to them always\, regardless of outcome”. – Claire\, Cork\, Ireland \n“The importance of setting (and reminding oneself) of intention in life is fundamental. This was an excellent event”. – Sam\, United Kingdom
