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)

An all day Saturday Workshop 18 February 2012
"The Visible Woman - rekindling a lust for life"
Facilitated by Irene Brankin
Registration begins at 9.30am for a prompt 10.00am start. Ending 5.00pm
A Special New Year Offer ~ Cost = £50 - which includes all refreshments & a light vegetarian lunch.
We all want to be caught up in the ebb and flow of life: to be involved and to know that we matter and still count. These basic human needs do not diminish with the years! This workshop is for women who are resilient thrivers and who now have more time to focus on themselves. Maybe there is the sense that life is flat and a bit dull and not as enjoyable as it once was.
If so, what are you going to do about it?
Are you taking the risk of being visible and standing out?
Or have you accepted that youth is where it's at and that the best of your life is behind you?
As we move into the second part of life, it is time to wake-up and listen to your wise woman - your inner wisdom, your inner sense of knowing, the part that somehow knows what is right for you.
Are you curious to explore your current choices and bring more aliveness to this daily adventure? If so, this workshop could be the first phase of the next part of your journey into greater joyfulness of life.
