I wasn't able to record our session which I led from a service station on the A12 near Colchester last night. But we did have a good discussion about grief prompted by a question from Margaret. I re-recorded an audio version of my answer below: https://share.descript.com/view/LJeRsVFOlgo

It's lovely to meet you all, and I'm looking forward to creating some space for quiet and new ideas here. I took one of Alistair's sessions over the holidays and it helped. Can't wait to meet you in person (on Zoom)! Jennifer

Hey folks, Thought this might be of interest.... an online event taking place next week (it's free to register) - Buddhism and Ecology Summit: Transforming Anxiety into Awakened Action. A bit of contextual blurb from their promo email: A week of free virtual events, including talks and interviews with leading Buddhist teachers, activists, and psychologists, dharma talks, meditation sessions, and workshops. This year, we’ll be focusing on eco-distress: the complex and dynamic constellation of emotions we feel in response to witnessing the destruction of the natural world. Join us to explore questions including: How can we channel our anxiety, grief, and despair into meaningful action? How can we not only stay healthy and sane, but also maintain a sense of joy and purpose in these times of planetary crisis? And how can the dharma support us in living with compassion, equanimity, and wisdom in the face of uncertainty? The week’s lineup of events includes: Meeting Anxiety with Loving Awareness: A Practice Session with Lama Liz Monson From Mindfulness to Movements with Michelle King, Bill McKibben, Dekila Chungyalpa, and Kristin Barker Ecological Storytelling: Cross-Species Collaboration for Navigating Eco-anxiety with Sophie and Clark Strand Not Too Late: Finding Hope in a Time of Despair with Roshi Joan Halifax and Rebecca Solnit … and much more

I’m Diana and live in Rossendale, Lancashire. This is an amazing thing to be part of. Thank to Alistair for giving this us this opportunity to be able to share things.

After we came back from our morning swim, this song was circling in my mind. I'm very much in love with the utter brilliance of the Beatles at the moment. Happy sunny day everyone.

I'm Caroline, from Warrington, Cheshire, UK. Very pleased and excited to have joined Mindsprings. Looking forward to getting to know people on here and learning meditation and mindfulness techniques. I have done some meditation in the past, but it was several years ago and was sporadic, even though I always loved doing it, but as with many things, life and all things hectic got in the way and I stopped practicing. I've had some health issues over the last 2 years, the most serious one being in the last few months and I've come to realise that I need to slow my mind down, slow my body down and start spending a lot more time on my own self-care and wellness. I was neglecting myself and that stops now. 😊 P.S. sorry about the photo in my bathroom, I don't take many photos of myself and that was the best one, LOL!
