Community Mentoring Programme: Finding Ground in Times of Confusion

No events to show

Description

Price Options:

Standard rate: £109

Supporter rate: £119

Theme:

The turmoil of our world and the turmoil of our minds share the same roots. How do we live in times of inner and outer challenges? For many of us, there is a poignant gap between what we know and how we live; often enough our reaction to a world seemingly out of joint is both numbness and indignation.

Over four weeks, this programme is devoted to teachings that orient the mind to practice and to finding resilience in the four resolves (adhiṭṭhānāni) – a compelling teaching found in the Early Buddhist message, offering both a compass and practical tools in challenging times.

The vision for this programme:

– To offer opportunities to reflect on a powerful yet little noticed teaching of the Buddha: Each evening begins with Akincano offering a short reflection on the theme of the four resolves.

– To nurture community: Each session includes a short peer breakout group.

– To enable resonance, dialogue and provide support: each session ends with an opportunity for participants to discuss the material presented and to address matters of practice and process with Akincano.
