NOVEMBER
"Stillness & Silence" - an afternoon of meditation with Angela McGee Saturday 10th November, 1.00pm-5.30pm, CERES Learning Centre Meditation teacher Angela McGee will lead an afternoon of meditation practice at Ceres on Saturday November 10th. This event offers a space of shared quiet and reflection to deeply rest in stillness and silence. This is an ideal opportunity for you to explore a Dharma practice, whether you are new to meditation or you are wishing to deepen your understanding. Stillness and silence are profound experiences that allow for our body, mind and hearts to open and deeply connect with ourselves and the world around us. The afternoon will include guided sitting meditations, walking meditation, a dharma talk and an opportunity for questions.
