Weekly Meeting: The No1 Prerequisite For Bringing Real Change To Your Life

This week in our online Thursday night meeting we'll be looking at a crucial and powerful part of the path of mindfulness – learning the (surprisingly simple) art of stepping away from our usual dislike of ourself... and, instead, stepping into deep self-acceptance (embracing ourselves just as we are, "warts and all"). This can free us from the pain of self-loathing and harsh self-criticism and judgement.

In the course of our meeting this week we'll hear from 3 acclaimed experts in this intensely powerful field of mindfulness, all of whom will provide us with important insights, teaching and understanding around this vital topic. And this topic is vital because it is the true gateway to both inner-peace and genuine personal happiness. In addition to their inspiring teaching, our group of experts will also share their own uplifting personal testimonies, drawing on their own struggles with learning to accept themselves and their own journeys into self-acceptance. These three leading experts are acclaimed modern meditation teacher, Tara Brach, American mindfulness teacher Jo Pang, and the celebrated psychologist, Kristin Neff.

During our evening together Tara, Jo and Kristin will share their wisdom and expertise with us in three short but amazing teaching videos, and leading local mindfulness coach, Shaun Glossop (our Group director), will be on-hand to host our time together and to guide us through the evening's topic in his usual down-to-earth and easy to understand way. Plus, we'll join together in several periods of blissful and deeply relaxing guided meditation.
