Meeting format

• The usual format of our meetings is to begin with introductions and a brief “check-in”. Then led by facilitators from our sangha, we enjoy a guided meditation, a period of walking meditation or movement then a silent meditation, each of 15 - 20 minutes.
• Next we read from one of Thich Nhat Hanh’s books. On Mondays we read a little of our current book.
• We finish with mindful dharma sharing. This is an opportunity to share from the heart ~ although there is no obligation to do so.
• Sharing mindfully might be about something that has arisen from the meditation, the reading or anything that is on top for you. This is an opportunity to listen deeply to others, giving them our full attention without comment or response.
• If no one chooses to share, then we may have periods of silence.

Donations / Dana

There is no charge to attend our sangha meetings, which are offered by volunteers.

When attending an in-person sangha, we simply ask that, if you can afford it, a small donation be made towards the hall hire costs (£4-5). This can be cash, or via our donations page.

When attending a Zoom sangha, you are invited to offer a small donation to the Plum Village monastics. A donation of even a few pounds is appreciated. You can donate to Plum Village here.
