Where my meditation learning first began 13 years ago, there's some beautiful stuff coming up. I'm looking forward to getting back to basics here again 🪷
Some things happening at the Newcastle Buddhist Centre . . .
It'd be lovely to see you at all or one of them!
The Friday night study group will be looking at the teaching on the Worldly Winds over a period of six weeks from Aug 7th - Sept 11th.
If you have completed one of our six week intro courses, or if you feel you have some understanding of Triratna's approach and core practices, you are invited to join them, either for the duration of the Worldly Winds study, or to remain part of the group when it returns to the foundation material after the course.
