Fundraising Movement & Meditation session
10h-12h Sunday 12 October
@ The Studio, online & recorded
In November 2023, December 2024, and July 2025 we held Being Peace sessions in response to war & conflict in the Middle East. Now in Autumn 2025, it is difficult to witness the continued and escalating violence and suffering, and a humanitarian crisis of such scale and brutality. We are again raising funds to send food parcels to Palestinians in need. Our friends Zohar & Nathan at SanghaSeva have been active in the region since 2006 offering “Being Peace” retreats and will be in the West Bank at the time of our session. With their partners in the villages of Palestine they have been organising the distribution of food parcels. They write that a food parcel containing essential items that can sustain a family for one week costs around 50 euros.
During this session of “Being Peace”, we will explore the heart quality of Compassion. How do we relate to difficulty and pain? It’s not easy to face suffering – our own, that of others and of the earth. In the discomfort we might recoil, close down, go numb or act out. And we might also meet the discomfort with empathy, warmth and understanding. Discomfort is often the initiation of change and action. Do join us as we enquire, move and meditate through this theme.
You might like to attend the session at the Studio or online, or request the recording of the session, or simply contribute to our appeal by making a donation. All ways of participating are welcome.
