Embodied Buddhism: Maitri – ‘Other-Obsession’ as an Antidote to ‘Self-Obsession’

1 October @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

£15

Contemplating the happiness of others is the most effective way to undermine ego and reduce the impact it has on our ability to live the life we want to live. Through actively generating a mind of love, warmth and care we can approach each situation with openness, ready to do what reality is asking us to do for the benefit of everyone (including ourself) rather than hesitating or ignoring due to our own habitual patterns.

The fact is, we need each other. We have so many opportunities to give others what they need in the moment, and we get sidetracked by our own small-minded interpretation of what is happening and how it affects ‘me’. By paying true attention to the people around us, we can also discover the ways in which they have what we need. In this way we can operate collectively, solving the puzzle of our existence together, in ways we could never do alone.

The evening will include breathwork and movement exercises for relaxed and present embodiment, and a talk on how to approach maitri practices to make love and compassion your natural reaction to the situations of your life. Love is what connects, strengthens and nourishes us.

Concessions available (students/low-earners). Please contact for more information.
