Goodwill Meditation Group, East Sussex
Change is inevitable. It happens so slowly. It can easily be overlooked. The temptation of now is to become identified with the problems that beset us personally, nationally and internationally. These current calamities that challenge humanity invite us to give up and sink into a gloomy negativity. This foggy climate of unhelpful thought forms cloud our judgement and keep us separate from the wonder and awesome potential of LIfe that surrounds us. A spiritual discipline cultivates a worldview that can reveal our place within this web of life. With this recognition comes a commitment to make a difference. The change being a life lived in harmony with nature, a life lived with meaning and purpose.
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." (Margaret Mead - Anthropologist)
It is common knowledge that prayer and meditation can condition an environment for the good and this is based on scientific experiment. "For a certain number of days, some years ago, a group of people made a circle around the city of Washington and meditated continuously for the period. Gathered unknown to itself within this circle of loving kindness, Washington changed. The statistics for that period in the city showed a remarkable and unprecedented decrease in violence and crime. The power of intention to bless is not some utopian fantasy; it can be shown factually to effect concrete and transformative action." - (John O'Donohue Benedictus - A Book of Blessings)

Another Successful Creative Meditation Workshop - Comments from Part 3 on 28 April 2012
"The Basics of Creative Meditation - Part 3 - Purposeful Living and Belonging"
'The workshop was spiritually, socially and physically nourishing. The facilitation style was encouraging and informative, welcoming and heartening.
'The Haiku word exercise was very powerful because it started as a 'seed idea' and ended as creative self-awareness.'
'There was a great balance between 'theory' and the practice of meditation. I liked how they were incorporated into one another.'
'The discussion throughout the day added to and enriched the group dynamics leading to a greater sense of 'self-worth' and an appreciation of the importance of our differences.'
