Monastic students of Thich Nhat Hanh will offer an online retreat "How to Grieve" in July:

How can we find meaning, peace, and an orientation for our lives in times of change? Whether it’s our personal journey of grieving, or our grieving for the losses sustained by our planet Earth, in this retreat we will learn how mindfulness can help us go through the process of grieving with more acceptance, peace and love.

More information and booking is available here: https://plumvillage.org/retreats/info/how-to-grieve/

It coincides with the forthcoming publication of a new book collecting Thich Nhat Hanh's teachings on grief and loss, "How to Live When a Loved One Dies" which is available to pre-order from Parallax Press: https://www.parallax.org/product/how-to-live-when-a-loved-one-dies/

Join us online Thursday evening where we will be focusing on sitting and doing nothing 🙏

Our Return to In-Person Practice
Dear Friends

Our Saturday mornings of mindfulness are now available in two ways. Online through Zoom and in-person at the Westminster Quaker Meeting House close to Trafalgar Square.

Online
The online sangha will continue. If you would like to practice online, please continue with the current Zoom link. If you have not practised with us online already, registration details are on the Heart of London sangha Online Sangha Page.

In-person
We have resumed in-person meetings at the Westminster Quaker Meeting House. Please arrive between 10.15 and 10.30 am. Meetings end around 12.45pm.

The in-person meetings are limited to 22 participants. You are welcome to drop in, however, you can ensure a place by sending a simple I wish to attend next Saturday email to [email protected].

Although these two meetings are separate from each other at the moment, we are exploring how we might sometimes combine the online and in-person groups into one blended meeting. We remain one sangha.

We look forward to practising with you in either or both of these ways

A poem from 'Sister Chan Tu Nghiem' to celebrate the Spring Equinox

Spring Poem

The birds are still sleeping,
no sounds arise from the bamboo.
In the dark breathe of night the air is cool.
My heart is open to receive life.
