Monday Night Sitting Group

The Buddha’s senior disciple Ananda asked the Buddha about the importance of “sangha” or being in community. The Buddha replied that the Sangha is the Path.

We all need ways to guide our attention that allow us to find wisdom, love, and freedom in the midst of our lives. One pathway that is available to us is through taking refuge in sangha or loving community.

Sarah runs a weekly mindfulness meditation sitting group to support the practice of new and continuing meditators, through times of challenge and joy.

The group meets online, using Zoom, from 8-9PM AEST. Our practice together typically includes a guided meditation (30 minutes), a short dharma talk (10 minutes) and time for mindful sharing, reflection and Q and A.

Classes may include some light mindful movement exercises that can be adapted to any mobility needs.

To participate you’ll need online access and a quiet space to practice.

Benefits of a sustained mindfulness meditation practice can include a reduction in stress and anxiety, improved ability to recognise and self-regulate emotions, improved self-confidence and communication skills, and deeper, more connected relationships.

“Out beyond the ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I will meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about.”

It was nice having a practice at beginning and end. I always feel like I'm in a better space at the end. The development from week 1 to week 8 was good because the impact and teachings seemed cumulative. The poem at the end was very powerful.

I like that you had a strong presence that showed gentle leadership but encouraged a sense of being all in it together.
