Dear family,
Please join Faye, Maggie and Sarah for another nourishing Thursday Sangha
The facilitators share their reflections, and then there is a question posed for discussion in our breakout groups, which is usually for around 20 minutes, followed by another beautiful guided meditation.
There will be more information coming soon...
We hope you can join us
Our theme for July 2026 is:
The Insight that Brings Us to the Other Shore
Understanding the Sutra: verse 5
The Eighteen Realms of Phenomena
Which are the six Sense Organs
Six Sense Objects
And six Sense Consciousnesses
Are also not separate self-entities.
In the sutras we learn that everything is found within the eighteen realms of elements composed of the six sense organs, the six sense objects, and the six sense consciousnesses. … But thanks to modern science, we know that the universe is not just what we perceive with our five senses. We now know that all of our senses are quite limited
So, biology and physics help us to remove our dualistic view of mind and matter, psyche and soma, so that we are able to see the reciprocal and interbeing connection of body and mind. … Whenever we look up at the sky and see the moon, the stars and the galaxies, we have to practice to see that these things are not independent of consciousness. Everything in the cosmos has consciousness in it
