We Walk the Path Together - Learning from Thich Nhat Hanh & Meister Eckhart

Are you curious about Christianity and Buddhism? If yes, then our new STUDY & REFLECTION group for 2021 may be of interest. Our focus is the book, We Walk The Path Together - Learning from Thich Nhat Hanh and Meister Eckhart. Thich Nhat Hanh is one of the world's great contemporary spiritual teachers in the Buddhist tradition and Meister Eckhart was a Christian mystic who lived in the 14th century. The book explores the common spiritual ground shared by Buddhists and Christians.

We will meet online for five gatherings spaced over the period January to March. Our explorations and discussions will be mainly held in small, facilitated groups of around 6 people and at the end of each evening we will come together as a larger group of 18 people to share questions and insights. Each evening will also include simple meditation and contemplative practices.

The group will be co-hosted by John Watters, Avril Loveless and Rita Garner. We will meet online on Zoom 7pm-9pm on the following dates: Mondays 4 Jan, 18 Jan, 1st Feb, 15 Feb and 1st March. We ask that before signing up that you check that you are available for all five sessions.
We recognise life is unpredictable and we want everyone who participates to have the intention to be at all the sessions and to commit to read sections of the book ahead of each meeting.

If you're interested but have only limited experience of Christianity and/or Buddhism then do feel free to message John, Rita or Avril. We will arrange to speak on the phone and explore whether the group is a good fit with your interests and experience.

The group is free to attend although you will need to purchase the book.
