Fragmentation to Connection: A Deeper Approach to Health - Listening to the Body as Living Intelligence, Saturday June 13th, 10am - 1pm
Many people today are living with ongoing fatigue, persistent pain or a sense of being overwhelmed - often while doing everything they can to stay well. It can feel confusing when the body doesn’t respond or when symptoms continue despite effort, care and support. Over time, we can lose sight of how health is actually working and begin to relate to the body through symptoms, labels and separate solutions.

This workshop explores a more integrated way of working with health. Through guided practices, reflection and self-care approaches, you will be taken through how symptoms form in the body, the patterns that shape them and how different aspects of life interact -helping you begin to work with health as a whole system rather than in parts. Drawing on clinical experience and teachings that relate to the nature of the body and mind, this session offers a grounded and practical pathway for making real inroads into your health supporting the body to respond, reorganise and restore greater energy, clarity and capacity for living life.

Resting Deeper in Meditation Day Retreat
Saturday 30 May 9:30am – 5pm

Come join the team at Newcastle Buddhist Centre to find a path to deeper rest in the body through meditation.
Living in a fast paced world can take its toll on minds and bodies. In this one day urban retreat at Newcastle Buddhist Centre we'll explore techniques for resting the body and allowing the mind to settle into deeper states of being.
Open to all, with or without meditation experience, we'll guide you in basic techniques that have great depth and relevance to working with the conditions of our everyday lives.
We'll meditate, eat and share time together and have an opportunity to be in silence for part of the day, allowing a deeper immersion into restful meditation

We will be marking Padmasambhava Day next week; a festival that celebrates the mystic and powerful Buddhist figure Padmasambhava, infamous for taking Buddhism to Tibet. All are very welcome to take part in puja on Tuesday Sept 30th at 7:15pm.

Being the rather mysterious figure he is, a Padmasambhava puja can often stir things up for people in ways they didn't foresee. Always useful stuff of course, provided we, inspired by his influence, have the willingness to transform!
