We want to ensure that if you are affected by cancer, you have access to comprehensive, expert information and support. We can help anyone – patients, their relatives, friends and carers – with concerns about cancer.
What is this group?
There is something magical about practising together, with the group able to hold us no matter our state of mind when we arrive.
***
Each week two volunteer facilitators lead us through the following practices:
*Introductions with a short weather report on how you are feeling
*A sounding the word Om - no musical ear or talent required
*A guided meditation offered by a member of the group
*A walking meditation - walking slowly and carefully around the circle of chairs
*A silent meditation, the facilitators will provide guidance, especially for anyone new to the group
*A dharma reading - members of the group have the option to read a paragraph of a book out loud
*A mindful sharing - members of the group have the opportunity to share any insight from that evening's practice, or something that they noticed from the week
*Metta or loving kindness - sending loving kindness to yourself and people you know who could use some
*Dedicating the merit to close the evening.
We also ask members of the group to come early to help set up, and stay for a few minutes afterwards to help reset the room for the next day.
