Island within, Island of self

Dear Friends,

This monday we will watch a 12 minute selection of a Dharma talk by Thich Nhat Hnah.

The topic is "The Island of Self"

All of us have moments or periods that our life is shaken by events around us.

Our practise is to return to our stability and look at the present moment with mindfulness and non-judgement, non discrimination. Observe and stay yourself, don't let the storm take over.

We train our stability to touch our freedom and happyness as often as we can.
We all have this place inside where it is peaceful calm and safe, this is the place no-one can take away  This is yours !
We can practise touching this place inside us and touch our peace and solidity.

Thay speaks in the video about this in a loving beautyfull anectote from his own life experience.

In this link a transcript of an earlier talk he gave on the Island of self.

Doors will be open at 19h30 for settling down and tea, 

we will start with short introduction at 20h, silent sitting and video.

Followed by walking meditation and Sharing.

We close as usual with informal tea

As of 19h15 some help is needed for making tea and setting up the room.

Have a wonderful weekend,

Enjoy the storm !

Hans
