Charo Baquero wrote this today 28/11/25. Fuller updated information will be added on the Google practice calendar.  “We asked James openly what we could do as a sangha to help him [and his health], and he replied that we should study and practice for the well-being of all beings, regardless of whether we liked them or mistrusted them. So we have been discussing this and have decided to return to the group practice of the 7-line prayer followed by the dedication of merits and the long-life prayer for James.”

Urgyen Menla Medicine Buddha Daily Practice

Weekly Wednesday Morning Drop-in Meditation with Jayachitta

Morning Meditation (drop-in)

Wednesdays 7:30 – 8:30 am (UK) meet on Zoom  Click here to join. (Meeting ID 841 4079 1570, Passcode 317634)

Somatic exercise and sitting practice. Open for all. See more here.

Children get into play so easily – without judgment or performance review. Would it be possible to approach our meditation practice in that way? This opens the door to a kind of meditation which is not aiming at self-improvement or a maximisation of our potential – in fact it is not about getting anywhere else than where we are already: here.

Can we be here with a spirit of wonder and curiosity, let go of ideas and expectations and let ourselves be open to exploration? Not through striving but by easing into being present, just as it is. This can not only open and enrich our meditation practice but also help us to bring a more playful spirit into our everyday life.

We will have a 60-minute practice on Wednesday mornings: starting with the body: a playful somatic exercise on our own or with another. Then we will come to sitting meditation, for about 20-30 minutes, and at the end there is a bit of time to share for those who want to.

These sessions are on a drop-in basis – no need to book. They are offered on a basis of dana/donation.


Weekly Tuesday Evening Drop-in Meetings with Huw Wyn

We are going to hold the meditations on Tuesday evenings from 8pm to 9.30 UK time which hopefully is a good time after supper relaxed just before bed on a winter evening. Perfect ! 
 
The meetings will be an opportunity to dive deeper into recognition of our true nature through simple enquiries, meditations pointers and deep relaxation. 
 
Anyone is welcome hopefully it provides a sense of community even though it’s online but the good news is when we get to the spring / summer we will be hosting real life nature retreats at Tiger‘s Nest in Sussex so if you enjoy this, maybe you can come along there too. Here are the instructions to join. Please share with anyone that might find it useful. 
 
Join instructions
 
Tigers nest winter evening relax and rest in one’s natural ease. 8 pm Tuesdays
