October news
Hello,
Temple dates for November are now on the calendar here
On Wednesday 13th, there will be a meditation morning, a new addition to the calendar that may become a regular mid-week once a month thing.
There are places available on the 10th-14th December residential retreat. Following this, the temple will be closed for most of the remaining weeks of December.
On Tuesday 31st December, there will be a new years ceremony with a meditation period or two before. Traditionally held late at night, so that the ceremony ends as the new year begins, this year it will start at 11.00am, so that people can actually attend. Following the ceremony, there will be a festive semi-pot luck feast. If you would like to come, please let the prior know in advance, further details will emerge nearer the time. The day won’t be available on Zoom and is for people who are familiar with our practice.
Last week, Rev. Elinore, one of our trustees, stayed at the temple for three days. On the Wednesday, the temple held a meditation morning followed by a social lunch and local walk.
Thank you to all the people who are helping with the bridging loan appeal. Much house hunting continues, despite the season.
Best wishes
