Contemplative Group Dynamics

Events for 2022

The Open Group:

An Introduction to the Contemplative Group

During the two hour and one day Open Group formats, brief talks and discussions will focus on the guiding themes of the practice: attentional stability and clarity, empathetic resonance, and the use of dreams as objects of mindfulness. We will practice the four foundations of mindfulness (sensation, feeling, mental/emotional events, and experience) in sequence in silence and with speech, a period of shared reflection separating each foundation. Experienced members will be able to deepen their understanding of how the contemplative group dynamic stabilises and clarifies attention.
