Mindfulness and Beyond (a meditation & study retreat)
At Sharpham Devon UK
Mindfulness is an integral part of the path to awakening. It plays the role of remembering, noticing, and directing our attention, so that other good qualities of the mind can arise. The Seven Factors of Awakening are an early Buddhist framework that describes how the mind & body can develop, starting with mindfulness but going beyond it towards liberation.

May 12/May 19/ May 26 — Online course
Friendships are something we all experience. In his early teachings, the Buddha spoke extensively about this essential aspect of human life, and several suttas are devoted entirely to the theme of friendship. These teachings emphasise the vital role of dharma friends — in walking the path of practice and awakening.
In this course, we will explore the Dharma of friendships through these original teachings, examining how they can guide us in building meaningful connections, creating supportive communities, and cultivating the qualities of both being and having good friends in our daily lives.

Presence and connection: an exploration of the 4 elements and the 4 immeasurable qualities of the heart
These 3 evenings will be dedicated to exploring and cultivating presence and mindfulness of the 4 elements in combination with the qualities of friendliness, compassion, joy and equanimity. The purpose is to experience and recognise the experience of the 4 elements within ourselves and how they connect us deeply to other beings, animate or inanimate. On the first evening we will practice establishing presence through the four elements: earth, fire, water and wind. The second evening will focus on the 4 immeasurable qualities and how they are an innate potential of the heart; the practice consists in allowing them to blossom and become the basis of the way we relate to the world. On the third evening, we will explore the relevance of these explorations and practices in our daily lives. The main takeaway is a bottom-up experiential appreciation of our shared embodiment by way of the 4 elements and the emergence of the 4 immeasurable qualities from within the establishment of presence itself.
