I frequently visit the South West as my parents are in North Devon, so would be interested in meeting anyone in the area or en route
A meeting place for people in the south west of England.
Thank you both. There are abviously different aspects to your posting and I'm not going to get into debating Krishnamurti's status, but what you are saying about observation and stepping back to get a bigger picture certainly sits well with Buddhi...
Interesting... we'll see what happens next! Thanks for posting this Caroline.

Stories and Rupas
Day two of the course block. Our student group is bigger than its been for a while, and lively discussion of the basic principles of other-centred work keeps us in serious engagement through large and small group sessions interspersed with demonstrations and counselling exercises. The principle that, since the mind is conditioned by the object of attention (basic Abhidharma principles), holding the client's attention on the objects in their world and encouraging a deeper, more respectful engagem… Continue

Autumn course block
As the afternoon wears on and the sun dips lower in the sky it gets distinctly chilly. Not so good for our overseas students! The autumn course block always comes at that time of year when things are on the turn and sunny golden September days have faded into damp October. Nevertheless this lunchtime the sun came out and we enjoyed lunch in the garden.
It looks to be the start of a good year. New students have swelled our numbers so we had 22 participants in the room this morning, with a number… Continue

Order Meeting
A group of ten of us raise our joined palms and sing, drawing back in a graceful dance, hearts opening with the gentle harmonies. The Order meeting comes to an end. Four intense days in which we have all shared moments of joy and struggle, in which new forms have emerged and our resolution has strengthened reach conclusion.
It is hard to believe that the Order is now eleven years old and maturing. Many of us have taken this path together seeing so many twists and turns along the way. It is wond… Continue

Ratnacitta said… - Hello Prasada,
I'm enjoying your 'Listening to the Other' book immensely - very challenged by it. I reallise how unaware I am of people's differences, and how dissmissive of people I am.......Its so easy to get one-sided in one's views of issues and personalities.....
Namo Amida Bu !!

Tara said… - Hello Caroline,
Hope you are well. I picked up a leaflet today about a psychology conference called "landscapes of the mind" taking place at the Eden project in Cornwall in September. It seems to link psychological health with our relationship with nature. I remembered the recent courseblock about "green therapy" and thought this might be of interest to you. Here is the link:
